He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture, Dabls presents commentary on the past, present, and future from African and African-American perspectives, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be, accessible to everyone, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western, often white, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery, presenting Dabls\u2019s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls\u2019s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally, Dabls\u2019s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11, 2026. The project\u2019s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls\u2019 creative practice, and the overlay of art, history, identity, community, and healing.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149620-21906786@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149620", "building_id":"1005179", "building_name":"202 S.
