When I place my works togetherâacross timeâI see how they blend. Change excites me, because I expand while remaining true to who I amâat my core. I foster experiences of soul and contradiction because everyone should have the opportunity to see life in such wholenessâthe sacred in the discards and the devastatingly joyful.
Two great nights at the All-Women Art Show presented by @artelfest . Thank you @richramsays for welcoming me in. Art curated by the wonderful @thelovewhip â€ïžâđ„đđ

ANI BRUTUS @anibrutus will be presenting artwork at BORDERS! Opening March 29th, 6-9pm at PUSHUP GALLERY @pushup.gallery curated by JACOB FREDERICK HARTMAN @jacob_frederick_hartman
ANI BRUTUS is an interdisciplinary artist of Haitian-Filipino descent, experimenting across print, paint, textile, and assemblage.
Read about Aniâs practice in her own words:
âThrough the layering of found fabric and elements from my family archives, I weave expressions of ancestral spirit into tapestries and suspended fiber totems. Drawing inspiration from the practice of Vodou and the principles of thermodynamics, I transform the lives of discarded materials into tactile portalsâeach representative of my regional communities and my familial relationship to the natural world. My work lives to affirm that spirit never dies, by exploring how the soul of revolution is alive within the mundane.â
Swipe to see some of ANI BRUTUSâs works!
PUSHUP GALLERY is located at scenic Erf Studios @erf.nyc 94 Bogart Street.
