A LOOK AT THE PAST⏳ We’ve had nine exhibitions since our opening in 2019 — with even more coming down the pipeline this Fall✨ Today, we’re flashing back to a few of our previous exhibitions. We’ve been pleased to showcase and promote a diverse range of artists and mediums in our gallery, and look forward to continue introducing our audiences to the broad range of expressions in Black art. Featured here: 🖼 “We were them that dreamed” by @tayojr 🖼 “You Wildin” by @yesterdaynite 🖼 “Unwritten” by @landaetartwork 🖼 “I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as a myth” by @jamillaokubo 🖼 “derivatives, memory, & the mundane” by @_yoshann More details on our past exhibitions available via meharisequargallery.com 💫

ONE DAY UNTIL CLOSING! Today, we’re showcasing “The Artist’s Process” — highlighted in our current exhibition catalogue 📖✨ In this section of the catalogue, we dive into SHAN’s collaging process used throughout “derivatives, memory, & the mundane”. See below for the breakdown! 1️⃣ A Narrative: To begin, SHAN selects a theme or topic she wants to explore, in this case communal spaces from her childhood memory. 2️⃣ Image Selection: As a documentary photographer, her archive is full of a variety of images she references to tell new stories. 3️⃣ Digital Mock-Up: SHAN then creates a digital version of the image where she copies, cuts, and pastes over 100 images in their finest detail to tell the narrative. 4️⃣ Hand-Collage: The artist then pastes the collage material onto Stonehenge paper for a gritty, tangible feeling. 🖼 “Untitled”, Process Screen Recording If you haven’t had a chance, make sure you stop by the gallery today or tomorrow from 12-7pm before the exhibition closes out〰️
