Meet Me at the Gallery! ðŸŽ¨

We're just one week out from my solo exhibition as the inaugural Larry Weekes Backroom Gallery Artist in Residence at Bailey's Cafe in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, and I couldn't be more excited. "Talkin' Spirit: Maps for the Road" (July 27 - Aug. 1) is a compilation of my works on paper that represent deep listening to the invisible currents of life that connect us all. And I have the pleasure of featuring several fellow artist friends as part of this experience.

The opening reception on TUES., JULY 28 will feature live music instrumental music by my two children ðŸ¥° and poetry readings by Mercy Tullis-Bukhari, Negus Adeyemi, Elvis Alves, and Cheryl Boyce-Taylor. RSVP for the opening reception here.

On WED., JULY 29, I'll offer a free ekphrastic poetry writing workshop. What stories do you see? How can engaging with visual art help your poems take shape? You will use the exhibition artwork as writing prompts as I guide you through the process of crafting and revising ekphrastic poems (poems that respond to visual art). At the end of the workshop, you'll take home additional prompts on my complimentary art prints.
RSVP for the workshop here.

And to close out the exhibition, I'll moderate an exciting conversation with two of my favorite artists who I've exhibited works with in past art exhibitions. Aleathea Sapp Jimenez just wrapped her solo exhibition in Brooklyn and her work will be featured on a digital billboard in Times Square later this month. Watson Mere's work has appeared at Barclay's Center, Gracie Mansion, Venice Art Gallery, and many other venues. And he just played the starring role of  ÅžÃ€NGÓ in the off-Broadway production of the same name. I'm honored to have the chance to be in conversation with these two dynamic artists and I hope you join us.
RSVP for the artist panel discussion here.

Please spread the word and join me in this celebration of living and growing together. Every day, we make each other maps for the road of life by the lives we choose to lead. So walk good!

Peace & Blessings,
Keisha
