On today’s Blank Canvas, the show on which we discuss visual culture and creative community, your host Katrina Cartwright, iis joined by members of the TERN team–Amanda Coulson, Founding Director and Jodi Minnis, Gallery Manager—and artist Melissa Alcena, who is a Bahamian documentarian and fine art photographer.
On “NAGB’s Blank Canvas,” your host Amanda Coulson speaks with Melissa Alcena, Tamika Galanis and Rodell Warner, all of whom are currently on show in Nassau at various locations, as well as having other projects globally.
Melissa Alcena’s solo show currently on view in the Project Space through December 3rd, “Some (Re)assembly Required,” speaks to this puzzle-piecing together and rebuilding and reclaiming of the chunks of softness that has been chipped away from Black men for so long.
Joining host, Amanda Coulson, on The Blank Canvas tonight are Tessa Whitehead, curator of the upcoming show at The D’Aguilar Art Foundation, entitled “Diversions” and participating artists Melissa Alcena and Sofia Whitehead.
