## Artist Replay

NFL Artist Replay is an initiative created to amplify the work and voices of BIPOC and up-and-coming artist around the world. Each month, two artists will showcase what a certain team, or match-up means to them through a piece of artwork.

Murjoni Merriweather

Sculptor, Murjoni Merriweather grew up in Temple Hills, Maryland. During her time there, she fell in love with art at the age of 8 learning how to draw from trial and error and art kits her parents would give her. After dabbling in photography, drawing, painting and graphic design, Murjoni tried out ceramics by the time she was in 8th grade where her heart grew whole. While feeling so connected to clay, she started making work that reflected the black experience. In 2018 Murjoni graduated from The Maryland Institute College of Art with her BFA in Ceramics and concentration in Film/video. During this time, she explored celebrating blackness through figurative forms. Murjoni has been able to expand her knowledge and experiment at places like Creative Alliance (Baltimore, 2019-2022), Fountainhead Residency (Miami, 2021) and The Alma | Lewis Residency (PA, 2022) in ways that talk about emotion through the clay itself. She has shown in institutions like Rubell Museum DC (2023), Baltimore Museum of Art (2023), St. Louis Art Museum (2023), The Walters Museum (2023), Jeffery Deitch LA (2021), The De La Cruz Collection and many more.
