This beautiful brother popped up in my photos this morning. Missing him. @richardhuntsculptor
Starting to look like my daddy.
The Arles ANAGAMA! There are so many people to thank for this gift, but I’ll start by thanking @luma_arles for helping me realize my desire to share my love of clay in other parts of the world. The kiln is beautiful and the builders and makers have been super kind. I look forward to sharing more.

Embedded in the Johnson Publishing Company Library at the Bank, the repository of knowledge accessed by the editors of Jet and Ebony Magazines, is James Weldon Johnson’s The Book of American Negro Spirituals (1925). Containing the scores and lyrics of 61 spirituals, it was common for our communities to sing these on Jubilee day. Johnson was a poet, novelist, civil rights leader, lawyer, lyricist and mentor to many of the Harlem Renaissance artists, among them Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. In 1900, he co-wrote the classic “Lift Every Voice and Sing” with his brother John Rosamond Johnson, who provided musical arrangements for this volume. Tomorrow, for our Juneteenth event at the Stony Island Arts Bank, musician Yaw Agyeman will respond to this object through musical exploration and experimentation. This program is an extension of the work that we are doing to engage artists, scholars and cultural producers around our archives. To learn more about this event, visit the link in our bio.

This past Sunday at Kenwood Gardens, we were grateful to welcome over 600 neighbors and friends to Sunday Service with @soundrotation. DJ Duane Powell’s celebration of House music and Frankie Knuckles’ legacy anchored a daylong program of grounding ourselves in the joy, care and fellowship of the gardens and one another. Thank you to @veryhumansocial and @camillekuth who started our day with a free flow. Camille’s yoga class opened us up to all the possibilities the day had to offer us. Throughout the day, our garden fellows cared deeply and thoughtfully for the garden, ensuring that it is healthy and ready for visitors. Stay tuned for more information about our upcoming programs!

Concrete work continues at St. Laurence with the second floor volume being taken out today. In order to accommodate the elevator, we had to lose one of the classrooms, but we may gain some complex minor spaces adjacent to the elevators on each floor. I’m imagining these as micro lounges or places for the smart storage of important books or quiet spaces. The cuts are done with precision and care for the rest of the building. We are also starting to think about what the final name of the building will be and how we will change as a result of being in this new space. It is a real joy to see these moments realized!

Good times in baby blue. 🤓 thank you Miuccia @prada for the generosity, a badass show and amazing new friendships that develop when we hang!
I’m honored to work with the @formanartsinitiative

St. Laurence Update 6/10/24: Markedly one of the most evident signs of our progress at St. Laurence is the installation of our new elevator. Concrete cuts are now made through all four floors of the school to ensure accessibility and ease throughout the school. Since the school wasn’t designed for an elevator, extensive investment, resources and engineering were needed for the building and land beneath it to ensure a safe and secure future for St. Laurence. Another exciting update is that the archive room is coming along nicely, with orange plywood on the center wall to support heavier art pieces and archive works. We’re very pleased with how the space is coming along and can’t wait to welcome artists.
