My entire mood this week as I get over whatever this bug was. Woke up with the ability to breathe and less coughing. Fruits, herbs, veggie, prayer and laughter is my healing agent of choice. But on the real, this look made the globe golden. Billy Porter you came for IT ALL! Sometimes you just have to bow down. Bowing! #Repost @trascapades with @get_repost ・・・ 💖👑🏆🎭#ArtIsAWeapon #Broadway and @poseonfx star @theebillyporter is a whole mooood, honey!!! Serve, Good Sir!

Happy #HaitianIndependenceDay!

Reposted from @cccadi Swipe 👈🏿

Today is not only the first day of the new year, it is also the 220th anniversary of Haiti's independence. As we kick off 2024, we honor Haiti as the first Black independent republic in the world and as a catalyst for freedom for the entire African Diaspora.

In the spirit of revolution and Black freedom, we are using this significant moment in history to kick off this year with intention. CCCADI will honor Haiti's legacy by anchoring much of our 2024 programming in our theme, Lakay se Lakay, which means Home is Home in Kreyòl (Creole).

Lakay se Lakay offers us an opportunity to use Haiti as a lens through which we pay homage to our people's ability to create and hold on to home, wherever we are.

Stay tuned for more information about our Lakay se Lakay themed programs.

Y'all, our time is precious and not to be waisted...

Only a few more days left to see "Calida Rawles - A Certain Oblivion" at Lehmann Maupin Gallery. It closes December 16. GO...

📍501 W 24th Street, #NYC

https://www.lehmannmaupin.com/exhibitions/calida-rawles2/press-release

"Lehmann Maupin presents A Certain Oblivion, an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Calida Rawles. This is her first major solo exhibition in New York, following an In Focus exhibition with the gallery in 2021. Featuring Rawles’ most monumentally scaled works to date, A Certain Oblivion celebrates hope as an expression of our shared humanity in the face of dark times. The power of Rawles’ proposition is embodied in her subjects: young women and girls who float and tread—alone and in community—in uncertain waters. They are the next generation, women whose graceful determination to transcend the riptides of contemporary American life belies the effort required to keep their heads above water. Rawles’ newest body of work reminds us that their triumph is our salvation."

Reposted from @calidagarciarawles Thank you, @cnnstyle and @suyinsays , for describing my practice and new body of work so beautifully.

“But I try to think of that as a moment where you can reflect and restart,” she continued. “Before there’s light, there’s darkness.”

This re-examination of darkness then forms the inspiration for Rawles’ latest body of work, “A Certain Oblivion.” Across a series of 10 large-scale paintings, Rawles captures the movement of young women and girls suspended in water, hovering just near the surface. Swirling pools of opaque blackness give the images a sense of uncertainty, but the subjects’ faces and bodies are positioned toward the light, conveying hope with a celestial presence amid the heaviness.
