#TBT THROWBACK THURSDAY #Repost @atimannetteoton (@get_repost) ・・・ IT'S UP AND OPEN. WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY 1PM-730PM .. PART OF HARLEM ARTS STROLL, JULY 15 FROM 1PM -6PM ... NEXT ARTISTS TALK WITH ARTIST ARIEL JACKSON, AUG 19 Conversations in Patterns, Textiles, Figures and Portraits: JAMILLA OKUBO AND IFY CHIEJINA CALABAR GALLERY 2504 FREDERICK DOUGLASS BLVD, @134TH STREET, NY An exhibition that speaks to the process of art by Kenyan American artist Jamilla Okubo and Nigerian American artist Ify Chiejina. Jamilla Okubo is a Kenyan-American artist who is a DC Native who lived in New York City. Her work explores cultural identity and black culture, and aims to use her interdisciplinary concentration as a medium to address topics within her culture while focusing on redefining the stereotyped narrative of the African Diaspora. Her work is heavily inspired by the art of storytelling through textiles and fashion, black culture, and contemporary African fashion and music. Ify Chiejina (Ifeatuanya Chiejina) is a visual artist born and raised in NYC, a black Igbo female visual artist with ideas, thoughts, and truths that are reflective of Nigerian customs and traditions. She primarily works in acrylic paint on canvas and or paper, and also in wet and dry based mediums such as charcoal and distorts the human figure. Her portraits and figurative pieces express emotions, personalities and character. As a visual artist, she is concerned with identifying the significance of self with feelings and thoughts, than depicting the head and body due to her upbringing. #calabargallery #harlem #africanwomenartists #african #american #JAMILLAOKUBO #kenyan #kenyanamerican #kenyanamericanartist #kenyanartist #dcartists #IFYCHIEJINA #nigerian #nigerianartist #blackness #blackculture #blackportraiture #blackwomen #blackhistory #africandiaspora #blacklivesmatter
