THE BLACK MERMAID.
As part of the bustling Sistrunk Fashion Week during the summer of ‘23, I had the honor of concluding my series with a month-long exhibition at the renovated Sistrunk Cultural Center—a vibrant hub created to celebrate Black creators and artists. This series was proudly sponsored by the Broward County Artist Support Grant.
Opening night, held in partnership with the Sistrunk Fashion Show, invited guests to step into the enchanting world of mermaids. The exhibition featured ambient ocean waves playing in the background, immersing attendees in a serene underwater atmosphere. A dedicated "Siren's Cave" room enhanced the experience, with projected waves reflecting on the walls to mimic the mystical allure of a mermaid’s haven.
