Catch them in conversation in Friendship Heights as part of “A Distinct Terroir” FlatFile exhibition next Weds. April 1! @mapsglover @sifu.sun Maps Glover is a DC based conceptual artist with a desire to create and tell new stories through an Afrofuturist lens. These stories weave together the past and the present projecting visions of blackness into the infinite future. ”My work stands as a portal between the past and the future the forms and shapes are familiar but there is always something beneath the surface. Even the creation of “Maps Glover” itself is an experiment in projecting a surrogate being into virtual space. I want my work to be inviting, I want it to pull you in closer and peel back the layers of judgment.” - Glover Sifu Sun is a creative powerhouse, operating as a manifestation of a higher operating system. Working with sound, acrylic paint, permanent markers, and the physical body, each presentation of work prompts reflection and release for the artist and audience alike.

A message to ice from the mayor of #minneapolis #Jacobfrey #mayor #safty #ice

Taking some time to color and process my thoughts, reimagine my reality and dive deeper into my intentions. Ask a kid coloring books were always way to me to explore color to escape to relax. Now creating that experience for others is just a satisfying. #coloringbook #color #adultcoloringbooks #create #imagine #DC #freedom #childlike If you are interesting in getting your hands on a copy before the holidays the link is in the bio.

New shipments of the Landing are going out today. To everyone who has been waiting. Thanks for your patience. I didn’t expect the amount of love and support these books would receive. Over 500 copies sold is bananas let keep this going . #coringbook #blackart #art #create #kids #adultsatplay #love #blackowned

This Saturday November 1 from 2-5pm I’ll be performing : The Branches that Bind at @dcpubliclibrary along with @sifu.sun I hope to see you there.

Last night, I experienced something truly amazing at the @folgerlibrary “Julius X” Written by the amazing AL Letson and directed by Nicole Brewer the play felt like a modern masterpiece the way it was together the story of Julius Caesar with the life and legacy of Malcolm X was nothing short of amazing. Every actor fully embody their roles so much so that I was fully immersed into the world that they created the language the rhythm the power, I mean, it was alive with stuck out to me the most about the play with how it didn’t just perform to the audience and invited us in. There was even an altar where you could leave flowers and write reflections. It become actual part of the show. It reminded me that theater at its best doesn’t just tell a story it transform you and last night I was transformed

D.C.’s DIY spaces have always been more than venues — they’re living archives of imagination, resistance, and care. I’m proud to co-curate this exhibition that honors that spirit and invites new stories to take root. Gratitude to my co-curators @n_c_a_m_p_b_e_l and tetev_tatev — come see what we’ve built together @dcpubliclibrary
