Got some pieces up in @spectrumqueermedia art show to celebrate Oakland Pride month, reception at city hall this Friday 12pm-1pm ⚫️⚫️⚫️ @adon1stheone hit me for this show and it’s so surreal and bitter sweet to have work up in city hall that will be here longer than my last day in town as a I pack up the last six years of my life here. Catch me in a state of relaxed gratitude for this city and the land it occupies and the communities that have fundamentally shaped me at the reception this Friday at noon ☄️🌈✨🕸🐣 (at Oakland City Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CmFmqhY-l/?igshid=csqiufbzykra

🌻prints for sale🌻 “Theo Parrish Was Right” prints, editions in various colors and some one offs (swipe left) $40 each, Venmo me @jade-fair ▪️▪️▪️ Image of Black children of Africville picking blueberries with a quote from ghetto tech genius and house musician Theo Parrish. Watched an interview where he called his process of banging it out self-taught on the man machines as ghetto. The mostly white audience laughs, he goes dead-ass and reminds us “nah nah y’all, when I say ghetto I mean human” ▪️▪️▪️ Coded language, redlining, where most of the world lives, when space is enforced and creation is squeezed out under pressure Printed at Radstorm in Halifax, NS https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJPdNShUh9/?igshid=iftkitxkadjp
