The New Museum's June Family Day draws inspiration from the Jeffrey Gibson: The Anthropophagic Effect exhbibition.

Learning and employing techniques such as birch bark biting, porcupine quill work, and basket weaving, Gibson has produced a collection of garments and helmets on view in the Fifth Floor Gallery. His interest in the futures of these crafts and their aesthetics serves as inspiration for families to create intricate forms of their own, using techniques such as beading.
