Via @projectforemptyspace ✨ @DelanoDunn’s "Dreams of Fire and Starshine" is a journey through past, present, personal, and potential futures in an intersectional feminist world. This exhibition is comprised of three distinct sections. 🔥💫 Part Two: "Everlasting Twilight" examines the artist’s own understanding of male identity. Dunn explains his self-analysis as a ‘realization of my shortcomings,’ and his belief in ‘an imaginary power I possess to change the world for my daughter so that she would not face the inequalities that are imposed upon women.” 🔥💫 Delano Dunn: "Word On The Street, There’s A New Kid In Town," 2017, Vinyl, tape, cellophane, and paper on plexiglass, 15in. x 12in. 🔥💫 View this work and more @projectforemptyspace !

Episode 11. SOULEO: Showing Out in Harlem, Newark and Beyond I first met Peter “SOULEO” Wright in Harlem in 2012 through a mutual friend and colleague, @leanne_stella, founder of Art In Flux Harlem. He curated an exhibition at her gallery titled “Art Enology”. Both Souleo and Leanne introduced me to a newly vibrant art scene that continues to grow and has reestablished Harlem’s prominence as a global art center. The Pandemic hasn’t slowed Souleo down. His most recent exhibitions in Harlem, NYC and Newark, NJ, dynamically illustrate his amazing ability to bring the intersection of art, fashion, and celebrity to a widely diverse audience. Image 1: “Styling: Black Expression, Rebellion and Joy Through Fashion”, curated by Souleo at Nordstrom’s in NYC featured works by 15 contemporary Black artists.
