THE MOTHER | THE FATHER

Thursday, May 16th - June 15th

With this exhibition we see an expansive approach to the definitions of Mother and Father beyond the literal associations of parenting to include universal and symbolic expressions of archetypal forms.

By extension (and paradoxically), the works produced for this exhibition, though reflective of ideations on the Mother and Father theme, will ultimately be the highest expression of the true self; we ascertain that one can only know themselves through connections to community, bonds that commence with family and ultimately extend out to a global kinship, a primal tribe tethered not to time, place nor to any single ethnicity, heritage, religion, or nation.

Harlem Sculpture Gardens

Launching in Spring 2024, the Harlem Sculpture Gardens is a groundbreaking initiative transforming historical Morningside, St. Nicholas, and Jackie Robinson parks into a vibrant exhibition space. In collaboration with the West Harlem Art Fund and New York Artist Equity Association, we bring sculpture, dance, and sound art to the heart of Harlem, celebrating its rich cultural tapestry. Harlem Sculpture Gardens is a collaboration between the West Harlem Art Fund, Equity Gallery, and various other organizations.
