‘Let’s make friends with the ghosts, make friends with the snakes, hug those other rats in the race. Because if you want to make it here, there’s got to be more love, less fear.’

Taína Cruz’s first New York solo exhibition opens September 7th, 2022, 7-9 pm @ HOUSING.
Including a series of oil paintings, videos, sound installations, and small sculptures, this exhibition explores African-American and Puerto Rican folklore and ritual traditions and oral histories in their present-day manifestations. In this body of work, Cruz summons the spirituality and mysticism of a 400-year lineage of healers and enchanters. The artist invites the viewer to become part of a ritual where magic reverberates across all aspects of modern Black life—everywhere and in everything.
‘THE WITNESS’ FROM START (Brooklyn, NY) TO FINISH (Savannah, GA). I had no idea what the final product would look like when I first started. This piece first showed at the Juneteenth Show at Sulfur Studios on Bull Street. Now it hangs in a private collection in the Ardsley Park neighborhood. Thank you for supporting my artwork.
