“The Black Woman is God” does not simply showcase Black female artists, it celebrates their divinity in the way that patriarchal religions honor the divinity of men. This subversion of Eurocentric, Anglocentric, Androcentric conceptions of spirituality promotes acceptance and inclusion of all subdominant religions and cultures. But most importantly, it allows for Black women to expose their own struggles, victories, and beliefs in order to truly embrace their magic."

Sibyl #3 is on her way to Cali for her first west coast show, "The Black Woman is God: Divine Revolution." And I can't tell you how excited i am! the spirit behind this exhibition is essentially why I started the Sibyl Series - a reclamation, a healing, a subversion of eurocentric and patriarchal notions of the divine, a testimony and a protest that #theblackwomanisgod.

Co-Curated by Karen Seneferu and Melorra Green the show opens to the public July 20, 6pm-10pm at SOMArts Cultural Center.

SF ART COLLECTIVE IN VENICE 

tomorrow!! my international artist debut :)  - cover art by Ana Sophia Tristan

I'm in Venice Italy for a two-week artist residency!

Venice is such a picturesque city! Perfect for a quick romantic getaway, or solo trip for rest and relaxation. 2017 is a biennale year so, catching all the amazing art around the city has definitely been unforgettable. Here are a few pics from my first week.
