About this event
BLKMRKTCLT is celebrating our 4th anniversary and instead of a party to celebrate our growth and success this year, we have chosen to celebrate Jessica Dunston, Mara Robbin, Kalin Devone, Jamea Marlowe, Jamila Brown and Wabwila Mugala throughout July 2021. In early 2020, we had the idea to promote Black women creatives but then the pandemic hit and everything was placed on pause. Fast forward to 2021, we have decided to approach this idea again and turn it into reality. With the help of Carla Aaron-Lopez, aka iamkingcarla, we want to recognize the growth of these amazing women artists.
My work is a constant love affair with brown skin. It is a fluid conversation with tones: the reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and blues that dance below the beiges and browns. It is an investigation into our melanin’s richness and depth. And it is because of this that I’m no analog photography purist—I edit my work, particularly the colors, in whatever way is needed to amplify the divinity and glow of my subject.
