With the regression of DEI focused initiatives in art spaces and educational institutions the existing inequity is on the brink of even greater challenges for women, melanated and LGBTQIA+ populations. In what ways can the arts community stay rooted in providing opportunities for equity?
Join several of the exhibiting artists in conversation with Dominique Clayton, Owner of Dominique Gallery.
Please join us for this very special art and healing activation of the group exhibition, TAKE A MINUTE. This workshop features an OPENstudio: Drawing session led by exhibiting artist, James Williams III followed by an integrating sound bath with Jen Benitez.
As the world enters into another year of highs and lows, we need to try to center ourselves by any means necessary. The artists in the exhibition come from different cultural backgrounds, life experiences and geographic locations yet are connected through their art and practice, much of which is labor intensive or time based.
We invite audiences to join us and take a minute to enjoy art, enjoy conversation and enjoy this moment. TAKE A MINUTE opens at Sovern LA with an all day reception on March 2nd and runs through April 5th with closing reception and artist talk on Thursday, April 4th.
For thirty years, multidisciplinary artist Sonya Clark has focused her work on the African diaspora in the United States to confront, elucidate, and reframe its history. Within her practice, she often undertakes this exploration through everyday fiber materials—most notably hair, flags, found fabric—and craft practices. In her work, craft and community are intertwined; her participatory projects promote new collective encounters across racial, gender, and socioeconomic divisions. Sonya Clark: We Are Each Other is a major traveling exhibition focused on the artist’s community-centric and participatory projects.
