If only we knew. Nothing’s new., Fellowship Artist Dominique Duroseau’s first solo exhibition in New York City comes to an end this May 20th with a performance as one of her entities: "Mammy Was Here."

Please join her.

How do we internalize history and its connections with current events?

What are the taxing effects whether we fight or stay neutral?

We're all being taxed and tolled daily, put through an exceedingly dull grinder, where the parts, gears, spaces and processes we endure are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic...to say the least. We're spat out, never whole, constantly going through this grinding and molding process again and again.

What does the internal Black humanity, our existence, resemble as a portrait?

 

How do we weigh the joy needed and deserved against the pain and trauma we must manage?
