In the summer of 2021, the residents of Detroit gathered to memorialize loved ones lost over the past year by crafting a wall of over 2,000 handmade pouches. Artist Sonya Clark introduced her Beaded Prayers Project, now on display at the TCF Center. The colorful, large-scale installation features a patchwork of fabric and beads each with its own dedication.
