Black Dolls, produced by the New-York Historical Society, is a new exhibit at the Strong National Museum of Play.An upstate New York museum is featuring homemade dolls depicting African American life as an homage to their makers and as a jumping off point into the history of oppression faced by the Black community., produced by the New-York Historical Society, is on view through Jan. 7 at The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
Michelle Parnett-Dwyer, a curator at the museum, said these dolls were “made by women who were very isolated from society and may not have been very supported.”“So this was really a form for them to be creative and to embrace their culture and to share that with their children, to have pride and see themselves in their own toys,” Parnett-Dwyer said.
The dolls in the exhibit were created using whatever materials were available at the time, such as coconut shells, flower sacks and scraps of fabric, along with seed bags, socks and silk and leather, according to the curators.
