Too often we are told how to experience art. We are out of touch with our feelings about it so much so that, most people buy into the hype. That is something I want to change. We live in a new age, it is the age of even more reason, perhaps. It may be cyclical and returning to what the art world was previously, or it could be something the metamodern world is building. People want to have their own takes and they want to sharpen their own tastes. I seek to make this a reality, even while connecting some dots.
I pull from the multiple cultures of places I have called home to weave a tapestry of sounds and visual references. I proudly describe myself as protean, constantly shape-shifting my creative expression to explore new horizons with empowerment at the root. My exhibitions share this philosophy, an evolving practice that is connected with the zeitgeist. At the core of my practice is a belief in art as a vessel for dialogue, bridging the personal and the universal, and changing and challenging the harmful perceptions that hold us back from building more bridges and ultimately living better lives. Art is a powerful tool that can be used to build and empower, or do the exact opposite. I seek to wield its power for connectivity and multicultural understanding

What does Post-Black look like in Atlanta, right now? In the late 1990s, artist Glenn Ligon and curator Thelma Golden coined the term to name something that didn’t yet have language: a generation of Black artists working after the Civil Rights Movement who refused to let their work be read only through the lens of race, even as they remained deeply, unmistakably shaped by it. It wasn’t a rejection of Blackness — it was a refusal of a single story about what Black art was allowed to mean. Nearly thirty years later, the term still unsettles more than it resolves, which is exactly why it’s useful. It doesn’t ask artists to move past identity — it asks what opens up when identity stops being the only question asked of the work. This exhibition plants that question here, now, in a city with its own relationship to Blackness, culture, and reinvention. The artists gathered were invited to respond to a single provocation, and their answers arrive in different forms, refusing easy summary — some in conversation with the term’s history, others pulling against it entirely. That resistance is the point.
