Join The Nicholson Project for the opening reception of "Blackness and the Infinite Potential Well," a solo exhibition by Kokayi.

The Nicholson Project is proud to present Blackness and the Infinite Potential Well, a solo exhibition by Kokayi, curated by Jarvis Dubois. Exhausted and frustrated by the ever-present images of black death and trauma, multimedia artist and musician Kokayi offers a new way of seeing and being seen. On view through June 18, 2022, the exhibition will debut new work created during the artist’s residency at The Nicholson Project. Works include sculpture, film, sound, and digital collage, creating an immersive experience of varied and nuanced Black critique, joy, and resilience.<a href="https://www.thenicholsonproject.org/exhibition-blackness-and-the-infinite-potential-well" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here</a> to learn more about Blackness and the Infinite Potential Well.About The Nicholson Project The Nicholson Project is a paid artist residency program and neighborhood garden in Ward 7’s Fairlawn neighborhood.
