Brew House Arts, Pittsburgh, PA
Nov - Dec 2024
"A play on the idiom 'Land of Milk and Honey,' Oat Milk + HXNY features 35 artists from three diasporic communities, representing 11 ethnicities, whose authentic and individual stories weave together to form a rich tapestry of the collective experience of being a BIPOC in America. Through genealogy, ancestry, and personal experiences, the pieces in this exhibit explore the themes of connectivity, spirituality, and the essence of remembering."
Pantheon (“the gods of a people”) is a reimagining of 16th-18th century religious paintings of the holy spirit depicting Black women as the prototype—the origin of humanity—and worthy of worship. Consisting of a large-scale portrait & corresponding altar, this installation debuted at Prizm Art Fair during Art Basel Miami in 2022.
Oat Milk + HXNY marks the first time Pantheon has been on-view in the city it was created - Pittsburgh, PA. The altar was expanded to commemorate this occasion.

Each goddess is a Black woman; deservedly exalted; adorned in the gifts left for them; and housed in communion with her sister deities. Evidence of recent Bacchanalia and worship–wine glasses, cheese & fruit, discarded garments, candles, incense, sage, oils, herbs–are scattered throughout, converging in the middle of the space..."
