George Eastman Museum Artist Talk: Beyond the Veil
EXCITING NEWS!!! Next month I will be giving an artist talk at the George Eastman Museum! I am beyond thrilled to be able to share my work with the local community and photographic community at large. For those who will be in or around Rochester in October I hope to see you there! I will be sharing a range of photographic projects to examine what the veil means, how I use Afrofuturism to peer beyond it, and what we can all do to push against the many limitations of social labels and expectations. Beyond the Veil will take you through my imaginative journey to understand humanity beyond the context of social constructs and into otherworldly and newly crafted universes! I will also be sharing a new project I am currently working on called Dark Matter. You wont want to miss this!
