Brayan Enriquez‘s solo exhibition Like Hills Made of Sand is currently on view at the Atlanta Center for Photography. Captured during the artist’s first visit to Mexico, when he reunited with his extended family, the resulting exhibition is part travel documentary and part personal diary. On this trip, Enriquez met many family members for the…
Emerging from discarded cans, strung across a salvaged frame and coiling to make a vessel — hair, specifically Black hair, is the defining medium of Nneka Kai’s solo exhibition On Unstable Grounds at Day & Night Projects. The exhibition begins with The Signal is the Sign (2025). A nearly 6-foot sculpture composed of braided hair…
A pitch-black background dominates the composition. In the lower third, a small circular cake rests on a platter, its edifice heavily ornamented by cherries and rose petals and topped with still-lit candles slowly consuming themselves. The Red Cake, Rockport (2023) is the most powerful artwork in Cig Harvey’s solo exhibition Emerald Drifters at Jackson Fine…
No one champions Black art quite like Atlanta. Historically, the city has hosted the National Black Arts Festival (NBAF), an annual celebration of Black artists, since 1987. Over those 38 years, the Festival has reached more than 5 million people and has welcomed notable figures such as Maya Angelou, Radcliffe Bailey and Spike Lee. Atlanta…
We overflow. Two small stones lay on a bench, each bearing one word: we overflow. Handwritten, each letter is feathered with wispy ornaments. The letter “e” of “we” fans out into a white web, flecked with colorful dots. These words are a mantra, an incantation I found myself repeating endlessly while residing within Eve Brown’s…
Honey Pierre’s solo exhibition I’m Just Living Some Life, Okay? at Impossible Currency embraces mundanity and, through it, finds sublimity. The title of this exhibition — with its use of a first person pronoun, vernacular English and an interrogative ending — make the title seem like a shoulder shrug, as if the artist is saying,…
A new art weekend just emerged in Atlanta, and it’s a model that should be replicated. On April 26 and April 27, the art community came together to attend the inaugural South of Center Art Experience (SOCAE). Offering two days of programming that included open studios, demonstrations and live music across 18 venues, this event…
Atlanta is known for offering a varied bounty of art on view at any given time, a detail that frequently shows its prowess as an artistic capital. Often, this variety leaves me in wonder at how miraculous our artistic community is. At other times, this variety leaves me a little discombobulated. Across three recently opened…
A gray line circumscribes the gallery. At hip height, this line serves as the base for the artworks which hang on and above it. With vertical branches off this center line connecting select artworks, Jessica Blinkhorn’s solo exhibition, Timeline: Two Decades of Atrophy, through April 27 at The End Project Space, is deceptively simple. A…
The title of the exhibition Y3K: Black Quantum Futures at One Contemporary on Edgewood Avenue, curated by gallery director and founder Faron Manuel, can be traced to the 2016 book Black Quantum Futurism: Theory & Practice (Volume 1) written by Rasheedah Phillips, with contributions by Moor Mother Goddess and more. In the book, the author…
