Curated by Cornelia Stokes, CoatTails: Celebrating Black Life Through Style explores the material, symbolic, and performative dimensions of style within Black life. Drawing from the legacy of dandyism as both a cultural practice and a performance of self, the exhibition expands beyond tailored garments to consider the fabrics, textures, and inherited materials that communicate aesthetics and lived experiences of Black life.

Exhibiting artists include Gabriel Chuks Amadi-Emina, Kaos Armstrong, Aliana Grace Bailey, JUNKANEWPAPARAZZI, Zenobia Kelley, Lex Marie, Devin Morris, Taj Poscé, Shawn Theodore, and Khari Turner 

Reception & Fashion Performance:

The Healing Power of Storytelling

SOFT LANDINGS:

Soft Landings: The Healing Power of Storytelling explores the transformative potential of storytelling through the accessible artistic mediums: collage and found object assemblage. These techniques offer artists Noreen Smith and Mark West therapeutic outlets to process personal experiences. By weaving their lives into visual narratives, they create spaces of connectivity, intimacy, and comfort. Their work not only fosters healing and empowerment for themselves but also resonates with and uplifts their communities.
