We were honoured to have provided some support to Curator Mahalia Sobers for her flash exhibition 'Exploring Black: An Expression of Art & Style' at Digbeth Art Space, from 14 – 16 April!

We loved her choice to platform artists from different creative backgrounds, disciplines, and experiences; we also loved the sheer support the launch event received from attendees. We look forward to seeing what Mahalia produces in the future.

Works by Nia Samuels.

Attendees stand in front of works by Ore Majek.

Black people of all ages mill around, occupying most of the view. They are chatting, drinking, on their phones, sat on benches waiting. One white person in the foreground chats to artist Alfie McIntyre with their backs to us. On the walls at the back are art works from Mahalia Sobers and Kaysja Wright.

Assorted photographs by Ore Majek. Depicting his friends hanging out at house parties, posing together, posing alone, and candids. It portrays Black London youth, and is a tribute to his friends.

A person with curly black hair faces a wall with photographs taken by Ore Majek, and paintings made by Mahalia Sobers. The photographs depict Ore's friends spending time together at house parties. Mahalia's paintings are of Tupac Shakur; a Black, oval-faced woman with long white hair and a sharp chin; two neon-coloured, eye-less girls with long necks and green hair; a Black woman with afro puffs and a similarly long neck; and two other more Basquiat-esque pieces with bright greens, reds, yellows, oranges, and pinks.
