Despite The Spoils
This exhibition is the first annual show in a series of five which are inspired by a collection of artifacts unearthed during excavations on the Rutgers Newark campus.
I was inspired to create Where is Malibu Christie? based on my experience looking for a black Barbie as a child.

The show is free and open to everyone

Newark Arts Festival 2023
How does culture influence the artistic process?
How does culture impact a community? Each of us has our own thoughts, perceptions, behaviors, and expressions based on our lived experience. Adopting a cross-cultural perspective starts with listening and learning from others who are different from us, and appreciating the beauty of how they experience and show up in the world.
The Newark Arts Festival 2023 signature exhibition, open to the public from September 27 through October 29, will provide Cross Cultural Perspectives in a truly powerful way: through the visual arts. This poignant exhibition will enhance each attendee’s cultural experience by providing a rich bounty of diverse viewpoints, artistic mediums, and voices to be valued.
My work Politics of Hair will be on display at the Newark Museum of Art during the festival and I will be at the opening on the 27th.

World of Threads Festival
Ive applied to World of Threads Festival a few times in the past and was not accepted. This year is different, I finally was accepted.
I am please to share that part of my microagressions installation, Blackity Black Blanket Ladders will be on display along with hundreds of other international fiber artists.
Bottom line… try and if you don’t succeed, try again. Eventually, you will hit your mark.
Ive already booked my flight to attend the opening reception in Oakville Canada.
