It’s been a month since I debuted Markit in the world and I’m still processing it all. I’m so grateful for everything. Especially the people who encouraged me along this journey and the ones I’ve met because of it. There’s so much to say. I have so much to say and so many things I want to make and unmake. What a blessing.
Excited to be sharing something I’ve been working on for a long time. I will be presenting my thesis in writing and exhibition form on August 23rd-25th! Please join me in celebration and reflection. I will be gallery sitting all three days so come by and visit me! “A self portrait series premised on exploring the exploitation of afro-feminine histories, presences, and productions in relation to the artists’ own process of exploring identity. Inspired by the umu-ada; the highest igbo feminist order and black radical thought traditions. Markit is an exploration of making and unmaking and the ways in which self actualization occurs at the expense of grief, loss, transactions and transformations”
i think it’s easy to get caught up in the routine. To lose touch of who you are and who you ought to be. as of now I’m learning how to appropriate everything for my joy. even the pain . I’m learning how to be me and I’m grateful for the soul mirrors who remind me of what that can feel and look like . life is painful but it’s also beautiful .
