Exhibits We Love :: Marxist Glue @ Hold Up Art
On one of my trips to LA before moving here, I had the luck and pleasure of meeting the artist behind YO!Peace, who kindly gave me a tour of the city’s most vibrant and prolific street artists. Needless to say, it was the best day of my trip. Now that we’ve made the move to the left coast, I am happy to see an exhibit showcasing some of these talented artists while building the bridge from urban canvas to gallery walls. Along with Yo!Peace, you’ll see politically charged Robbie Conal, the eastern-driven work of Cryptik, the economic commentary of Mark of the Beast as well as works by Nomade, Mear One and Eddie Colla, among others. This show also features a large collaborative piece between all the artists with enough material to keep eyes and minds captivated and woke!
Events We Love :: Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken
The Center presents Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken, a multi-media art exhibit and poetry performance by Yvonne Fly Onakeme Etaghene. Soon Come: Poems Painted & Spoken will debut Etaghene’s visual art. Her art is acrylic and spray painted visual poems passionately splashed on canvas and wood surfaces in order to share the colors of her soul. The space will have life-size poetry hanging around you, video art as well as a loving, tender, soul-deep performance of Etaghene’s poetry spanning the last decade of her career. The poems shared will be about the revelry, magic, heartache and angst of love. Etaghene gives you these poems and paintings with open palms and heart, reaching to love you, ever more, ever deeper.
