Me… all over NYC over the last few months… showing love, support and respect to a few INCREDIBLE women of color artists. I still have to make it to the Met to see Wangechi Mutu’s The NewOnes, will free Us before January 12, 2020. Are there any exhibits or installations that you’re looking forward to seeing? Let me know in the comments.
**Borrowed from one of my favorite excerpts from Sula by Toni Morrison:
“In a way, her strangeness, her naiveté, her craving for the other half of her equation was the consequence of an idle imagination. Had she paints, or clay, or knew the discipline of the dance, or strings, had she anything to engage her tremendous curiosity and her gift for metaphor, she might have exchanged the restlessness and preoccupation with whim for an activity that provided her with all she yearned for. And like an artist with no art form, she became dangerous.”
