In this provocative exhibit, King tackles her experience with hypervisibility and invisibility, being both overpoliced and overlooked.
Experience a journey into the world of art, where talent inspires imagination and stirs emotions. Katana will take us on that journey to explore the conceptf “Black Fatigue,” a term coined by Mary-Frances Winters, and what stress from structural racism does to the body and brain, as well as the advice from Katan’s mother, Jacqueline Carter, “to eat the meat and leave the bones” and how we can survive and thrive in these politically charged moments.
Plus a community offering with Y.M. Olanifesi, Somatic Counseling and Movement Healing to prepare us for the conversationa and for going back out into the world.
Beverages and food by Big Head Brothers Bistro and Catering. Please RSVP here.
ABOUT FIRST FRIDAYS
5 – 7 pm The Black Creator Highlight @ Noir Collective AVL 39 S. Market Street
7 – 9 pm The Artist Network | The Workshop Lounge @ The Foundry Hotel or YMI Auditorium or somewhere else entirely (let’s see what’s out there)
Every month we gather to rejuvenate, reignite, and indulge in creative community. We gather to remember and honor those who have come before us and to set new paths for those who will follow.
Black Creator Highlight is a center stage for an artist, spoken word performer, musician, soap maker, fashion designer, or crafter of any medium.
Artist Network is a communal creative experience to collaborate, share ideas, methodologies on how we create, how we reset, and to just BE. Join us @The Workshop Lounge within the Foundry Hotel.
Both offerings are Drop-In events.
(Collaborations with other venues could shift our timing. Please check social media for details and updates.)
