Take 2: Action! 🎬 (Event link in bio.) You got a little time for me this weekend, baby? 🥺 Mammy May I…?” is an ongoing contemplation of “Black Womanhood” as a reaction to the disillusionment of “Black Girlhood.” Exploring sensuality, play, rage, and release, this work in progress undertakes a simple query: to whom does your body belong, Black girl? A continuous journal in real time. This show is sexy, rough, hard, and tender. Stop on by. 🫶🏾

This month’s episode of @thewitchesflight is finally available on archive (linked in bio). I had the pleasure of speaking with multidisciplinary artist Uréchi Oguguo on art, beauty, rest and spirit-guided work. In this artist conversation we also spoke about their creative practice and how they queer the visual field by engaging African diasporic sensibilities of art. Uréchi Oguguo is a New York City-based, Lagos-born illustrator, space maker, storyteller, and designer. Their creative practice encompasses a wide range of mediums, including handcrafts, illustration, and spatial design, all with a focus on celebrating and amplifying narratives of rest, care, and tenderness that are often overlooked in discussions of Blackness.

[duggal greenhouse] brooklyn, ny🗽 @artistic.mequel presents: CultureCon Magazine📰 To be amongst black creatives, entrepreneurs, and artists was just a networking dream. It was great meeting these beautifully dope people at culture con. I appreciate those who had the humility to get to know me or even shake my hand. My anxiety was beating my ass the entire time, but I made it through. Glad I finally got some real connections in new york & across the country. CultureCon is much needed for us black artists. This was better than any homecoming. Next year tell @culturecon @theccnyc to put me on the team!📷 Photography📷: @artistic.mequel Edits⌨️: @artistic.mequel Featured✨: @jermellesimon @obioojones @bbthebard @hellodstokes @derekdahmer @maicanbeauuuty_mua @itsmarknichols @joseph_mcrae @urechi_ @brentaviusb @artistic.mequel
