Artist Statements

Beyond The Mirror (Zainab Egbeyemi): I wanted to create an art project that showcased the diverse fashion styles of  the everyday black woman, styles that often go unseen.

Dear Sister (Joy Adeola): I particularly want black women to look at my work, see a reflection of themselves and their complexity, and be proud of that.

Stained Glass (Yinkore): It’s mostly about my love and appreciation for black women, and me living as a black woman and how to navigate that.

Sunday Morning (Chimemelie):  The intention behind this piece is to portray what a typical morning getting ready looks like for a black girl. Chimemelie wanted to portray how her mom taught her and her sister to love their natural hair by creating unique hairstyles on them.

Diadem (Naychi): I created it when I was dealing with a lot of mental health issues, and as cliché as it sounds it helped me come out of it.

Selfie Time (Simone Patricia): I hope that the viewers can resonate, connect and feel comfort, joy, and peace.

Haarley (Precious “Percy” Eriamiator) : My art is a reflection of my journey, drawing from the stories and emotions that shape my everyday life.

“Yasmine – Diola” Teranaga 2024 (PIIIIRRE(Adja)): Embarking on a profound exploration, this project ventures into the diverse tapestry of Senegalese ethnicities, illuminating their essence through the intricate language of accessories, the eloquent expressions of attire, the nuanced artistry of makeup, and the ineffable aura they exude
