Da Artist ZNT: Closing Reception in Style!

Greetings Everyone

Here is a little glimpse into THE TRUTH PRESENTS... 

On Friday November 14 I was joined by friends and community for my closing reception.

My goal for this art show was to incoporate all that is art from music to poetry and more. 

It was an organic night of good energy happiness and fun.

We opened the doors at 7pm with beats by 

DJ G 7

If you don't know him you should.

Ofats with the Dope Raps blessed the stage shortly after reminding us that through struggle we gain strength.

I was honored by the opportunity to meet new acquaintances. I shared more about myself as an artist along with my personal struggles.

I started this project over a year ago.  To bring  together a vision to do something new in Mission Hill and of all places JP LICKS BRIGHAM CIRCLE. It was a huge success.

When approaching the final days in preparation for my two month exhibit from October 1st to November 30th.  I lost my beloved best friend, father figure and grandfather. A battle that over came his physical being but not his spirit. It took place a few days before the installation of my show. I wasn't sure I was going to make it. It hurt to loose such a pivotal supportive person that always encourage my art and life choices. But with that remeberance of encouragement and beloved friends and family I moved forward.

Overall this would not be possible with out the hard work and collaboration of organizations and individuals to simply make it happen.

I graced the mic at approximately 8:30pm and recited a poem entitled "It's Interesting"

Speaking to the collection of "Faces Series" that represents all woman of color and african decent.

 

"Being a woman of color is interesting

 

You can always tell when you’re missed

In the sweetness of a kiss

The linger of a hug

 

Bringing up and being a woman of color is interesting

 

Spinning 365 many things happen on her surface the atmosphere is one of the precursors

But there is a rumble

Within her earthly depths

Sometimes it emanates through the

Huffing of her breath

Or the river of water the falls from her eyes

Or the flow and gush of oceans from her inner thighs

When the birth of new ideas arise

Sometimes she crumbles and quakes

When faced with seasons of life and

mistakes

 

Being a woman of color is interesting

 

Learning how to bare the weight

Baby girl, daughter, lover, mother, sister aunt,

Companion and grandmother

The list of being a woman of color is interesting

Because it never

ends"

I value each and everyone of my customers!

It's a pleasure for you to enjoy my work and make it a personal part of your life.

Pure energy music and hip hop! Who would have imagined break dancing it was incredible and if you missed it shame on you!

The crowds energy is happy and spontaneous some were in awe...

Look at the guy in the back with the phone!

Thank you again to everyone that came out for a evening of fun, laughs, art, music and so much more.
