I want to extend gratitude to everyone who attended the opening of Stars Shown in the East this past Friday evening at Tala Gallery. It was an extraordinary night, made even more special by the presence of so many incredible people who filled the space with warmth and energy. Over the past 72 hours, I’ve been overwhelmed by the heartfelt messages and thoughtful feedback I’ve received, and I feel blessed by the love and support.
A sincere thank you to @tala.chicago for hosting this exhibition and to @white.egrets for your amazing curation. I also wanted to acknowledge my closest kinfolk—the people who have stood by me over the past ten years, offering unwavering support, wisdom, and encouragement as I’ve navigated my creative journey. Your belief in me means more than words can express.
While I don’t showcase my work often, I’m deeply grateful to my core group of loved ones and the growing community of friends who continue to support and inspire me.
If you weren’t able to join us for the opening, there’s still time—Stars Shown in the East has more programing to come and will be on display Thursday- Saturday (1:00-6:00pm) until March 1st!
Also, be sure to explore the wonderful selection of books, clothing, and ceramics available in TALA's atrium, featuring work from talented artists and brands such as @product.house@lllllilly@ingabooks@amekimeki
Thank you again for being a part of this meaningful moment in my life and work.
Keep in flight!

We are thrilled to announce 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒂𝒔𝒕, an exhibition by Mandela Hudson, curated by Denny Mwaura. Join us for the opening reception on Friday 1/17, 6-9PM ⭐️
For his first solo exhibition, Chicago-born artist Mandela Hudson presents a collection of photographs that challenge the notion of sole authorship in storytelling. These works are part of a larger monograph tracing his connections between Chicago and Detroit, emphasizing the profound influences of family, design, history, Chicago’s social and architectural landscapes, and the unacknowledged creative vision found within inherited vernacular photography. Rather than asserting himself as the sole creator of these images, Mandela focuses on the emotions, ideas, and social ties they distinctly evoke.
The exhibition’s title, 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒂𝒔𝒕, draws from theological and Nativity themes, exploring concepts of light overcoming darkness, the beauty of simplicity, and the connection between otherworldly dimensions and earthly existence. Whether referencing spiritual beliefs, landscapes, personal history, or his practice in Judo, Mandela’s work reflects a layered introspective dialogue within a growing body of work.
Opening Friday 1/17, 6-9PM
On view through March 1st, 2025
