SUMMARY:brilliant darkness: MFA art thesis exhibition
DESCRIPTION:BRILLIANT DARKNESS\n\n\n\nMFA Thesis Exhibition \n\n\n\nby Nill Smith \n\n\n\nExhibition: April 1 – 5\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, April 4th\, 6-8p\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nI connect with water as a divine being. Vast bodies of water evoke a sublime experience akin to a connection to a god or goddess. Using this as a catalyst\, I engage in different mediums to speak to different narratives around water.  I construct work based on ideas of healing through purification. I take ‘snap shots’ of water through the use of cyanotypes and in turn\, honor these moments as sacred objects. I paint with a vibrant\, jewel toned\, saturated palette that still holds restraint. I think about the gesture of the body as an act of storytelling. Through poses\, I create narratives that dive into moments of suffering. These figures\, hunched over in sorrow and grief\, are in a state of limbo. They cover their faces in shame. Their eyes never meet your gaze. Intimate moments are put on display for the consumption of the viewer. I engage in mythologies both crafted and historically grounded. Histories such as the Middle Passage\, the ‘Black Atlantic’\, and The Door of No Return\, amongst others\, are interlaced into this series of work in addition to personal ambiguous narratives. Through these mythologies and histories\, I search for healing\, reinvention\, and liberation.   \n\n\n\nMore About Nill \n\n\n\nNill is an interdisciplinary artist\, predominantly working in painting\, ceramics\, and printmaking\, currently working out of North Carolina. Her work centers water as a conduit for purification and reinvention\, while holding histories of violence. Nill’s work has been shown at The North Carolina Museum of Art\, Weatherspoon Art Museum\, The McColl Center\, Prizm Art Fair\, Main Street Arts\, Shain Gallery\, and VAE Raleigh\, amongst others. She was the recipient of an Arts and Science Council grant\, and judge for the National Scholastics Competition.   \n\n\n\nLearn more: @theartistnill | Website: Theartistnill.com \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Constructed Discontent: MFA Art Thesis Exhibition  
DESCRIPTION:Constructed Discontent \n\n\n\nMFA Thesis Exhibition\n\n\n\nby Celena Amburgey \n\n\n\nExhibition: April 8-12\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, April 11th\, 6-8p\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nConstructed Discontent explores the fragile yet forceful process of self-definition\, interrogating the tension between inherited narratives and those we create for ourselves. Through layered materials\, fragmented imagery\, and reassembled histories\, this body of work challenges the structures that shape personal and cultural identity\, questioning the forces that confine\, shape\, and ultimately reshape our sense of self. \n\n\n\nAt the core of this exhibition is an exploration of disruption and reconstruction—both emotionally and materially. Found objects\, repurposed textiles\, and unconventional surfaces serve as stand-ins for history and memory\, revealing how identity is constantly built\, unmade\, and remade. The work reflects on familial myths\, cultural expectations\, and the weight of external perceptions\, exposing the internal struggle between belonging and individuality. \n\n\n\nAmburgey’s process is deeply tied to time and labor—sewing\, layering\, embedding\, and obscuring. This physical engagement mirrors the psychological work of undoing past narratives and constructing new understandings. Materials such as plastic bags\, burlap\, and personal artifacts underscore the tension between value and disposability\, reflecting the artist’s ongoing interrogation of what is cherished and what is discarded—in material form and in personal history. \n\n\n\nBy confronting discontent as a catalyst for transformation\, Constructed Discontent explores how discomfort can become a space for healing. Rather than seeking resolution\, these works engage in the slow\, layered process of re-examining\, reconstructing\, and reclaiming identity. Through these acts of making and unmaking\, the exhibition offers a space where the past is not erased but actively reworked—suggesting that\, like identity\,—healing is a process of persistence\, choice\, and re-visioning \n\n\n\nMore About Celena  \n\n\n\nThrough painting\, collage\, and layered materials\, I explore identity’s fragile and fluid nature\, a journey ignited by the seismic revelation of a DNA test in 2021. This discovery fractured the foundations of my carefully constructed self\, shattering it into fragments. Art became my means of reassembly\, transforming personal reckoning into a universal meditation on resilience and reinvention. Each work reflects the process of claiming agency over inherited narratives—truths and deceptions—to construct a more intentional identity shaped by acceptance\, understanding\, and choice. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of my practice is the act of layering\, where paint\, collage\, and family photographic archives converge to reconstruct identity. I use paint as collage\, merging fragments of memory with the past and present to reshape my understanding of self. Once static relics\, these inherited photographs become dynamic surfaces where paint and collage obscure\, alter\, and reveal\, collapsing time and reshaping personal history. While rooted in personal experience\, this process extends beyond self-exploration\, questioning how identity is shaped by familial memory\, collective history\, and materiality. The layering of images and textures mimics how identity is formed—through accumulation\, erasure\, and reinterpretation. Like identity\, objects are never static; they carry the weight of time\, labor\, and memory\, continuously reshaped by use and perception. \n\n\n\nMaterials like pennies\, burlap\, and bed sheets carry layered histories\, their transformations mirroring the shifting nature of value and belonging. Tarnished pennies\, once insignificant and easily overlooked\, become markers of perseverance and worth\, reflecting how meaning is shaped by perception and context. With its rugged texture and utilitarian past\, burlap speaks to resilience—stitched\, stretched\, and painted upon\, it becomes a foundation for deconstruction and renewal. Once bearing the weight of familiarity and comfort\, bed sheets are repurposed as vessels for new narratives\, their fibers holding the echoes of past lives while offering space for reinvention. By repurposing these materials\, I explore how objects\, like identities\, are never static but continuously reshaped by time\, labor\, and memory. \n\n\n\nMy work is a quiet rebellion\, where past and present collide\, discarded things breathe again\, and vulnerability holds weight like stone. Here\, identity is not fixed but fluid\, not given but claimed\, not lost but waiting to be seen. Even the fragments—the forgotten\, the fractured\, the worn—hold infinite possibilities\, if we dare to see anew. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Public Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:NYANSAPO: Mfa Art Thesis exhibition
DESCRIPTION:NYANSAPO (Wisdom Knot)\n\n\n\nMFA Thesis Exhibition\n\n\n\nby Paul Stanley Mensah\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: April 15 – 19\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Saturday\, April 19th\, 6-8p\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this evocative collection\, Ghanaian artist Paul Stanley Mensah bridges the past and present through a dynamic interplay of metal\, wood\, leather\, and fabric. Rooted in the rich traditions of Ghanaian heritage\, his work delves into the enduring impact of slavery\, the power of unity\, and the wisdom embedded in Akan proverbs and Adinkra symbolism. \n\n\n\nThrough sculptural forms and textile compositions\, Paul Stanley Mensah transforms historical narratives into tangible expressions\, using weathered metal to echo resilience\, embossed leather to preserve ancestral voices\, and fabric to weave together stories of cultural identity. The Adinkra symbols\, imbued with philosophical depth\, serve as a visual lexicon\, reminding us of the strength in unity and the lessons history offers. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is a dialogue between past and future\, a call to reflection\, and a celebration of heritage. It invites viewers to engage with the complexities of history while embracing the enduring spirit of community and wisdom that defines Ghanaian culture. \n\n\n\nMore About Paul Stanley Mensah \n\n\n\nMy art practice contextualizes Ghanaian proverbs\, Adinkra symbols\, and childhood stories\, using metal\, wood and other indigenous materials like leather and fiber to create abstract and metaphoric human size/ large size sculpture. These proverbs were passed down to me by my late mother. With large scale installations\, I seek to pass down these proverbs and symbols to my daughter and the new generation to preserve and promote Ghanaian culture and heritage. These Proverbs\, Adinkra symbols and stories convey messages of kindness\, faithfulness\, perseverance\, integrity\, love\, and courage. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Public Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Efflorescence Photography Capstone exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Efflorescence\n\n\n\nPhotography Capstone Exhibition  \n\n\n\nApril 29 – May 3\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, May 2nd | 6-8PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeah Sobsey’s Capstone Photography Class exhibition\, Efflorescence\, features works from the following participating students: Zainab Adamou-Mohamed\, Christopher W. Drew\, Dulce Gonzalez\, Morgan Hesse\, Amari Melton\, and Khaylah Newell. The definition of Efflorescence is the action or process of developing and unfolding as if coming into flower. As photographers in their senior year and on the cusp of a new chapter\, they found the metaphor of flowering to best reflect how they are feeling. This process of blooming resonates with them as they  continue to evolve\, each seeing the world through their own lens. \n\n\n\nFeaturing UNCG Student Artists:\n\n\n\nZainab Adamou-MohamedChristopher W.

SUMMARY:Under Pressure Art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Under Pressure\n\n\n\nAn Exhibition That Explores How Pressure Shapes\, Challenges\, and Inspires\n\n\n\nFeaturing Local\, Undergraduate Artists from UNCG\, Guilford College\, and A&T University \n\n\n\nCurated by GPS Interns: Lucy Terry\, Elissa Ukhueligbe\, and Rachel Witzel\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: April 29 – May 2\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, May 2nd\, 6-8p\n\n\n\nMore About Under Pressure  \n\n\n\nHow does pressure shape\, challenge\, or inspire you? From personal struggles to societal pressures\, we seek art that explores the transformative power of adversity. How adversity—whether physical\, emotional\, or external—can lead to growth\, innovation\, and change. Under Pressure is an opportunity to reflect on the pressure points that define our lives: moments that push us beyond limits\, that break us open or forge us anew.  \n\n\n\nMore About The GPS Student Intern Curators  \n\n\n\nLucy Terry  \n\n\n\nMy goal as an artist is to create an escape\, not just for the viewer\, but for myself. The constant pressure that is on student artists makes it near impossible to relax into the escapism that art can provide. Through this exhibition\, I hope that all of my Greensboro student peers can allow themselves to move freely through their own artistic expression\, without the threat of a grade or evaluation looming over them. My hope is that this exhibition creates a safe space for free expression while also celebrating the unique\, fresh\, and unfiltered style of student artists.  \n\n\n\nElissa Ukhueligbe \n\n\n\nI believe people can connect to each other through a shared struggle. There are common adversities for all people\, no matter their background. Art can be a way to critique systems that harm people. In addition\, it can inspire empathy\, action\, and compassion. I hope this exhibition can allow people to feel seen through artwork. We included artists in multiple Greensboro schools; hopefully cultivating a sense of community through shared emotions. \n\n\n\nRachel Witzel  \n\n\n\nWhat I hoped to cultivate with the show Under Pressure was a body of work that reflected the universal weight we carry as students and artists. While everyone\, artist or not\, experiences their own unique stresses and pressures throughout their lives\, it’s as artists and creatives that we are able to communicate how they affect us. For me\, art is its own form of communication. What began as symbolic paintings on cave walls has now become a tool for us to open channels of connection with others who might share in our experiences– or discover something new about themselves through the art we share. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Third Annual BA ART Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Third Annual BA Art Exhibition 2025 \n\n\n\nCurated by UNCG Students Sarah Dawkins & Beyonce Kee\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExhibition: May 6 – 10\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Saturday\, May 10th\, 6-8p\n\n\n\nThis is the third annual instillation of the Bachelor of Arts Student Art Exhibition. This exhibition is rooted in giving BA majors a space to exhibit the work they’ve been working on throughout their degree. BA students approached Greensboro Project Space to open an exhibition to celebrate graduating BA students. Many students had compiled work throughout their degree and wanted to share. Pursuing a BA gives students a wide net to cast into creative waters as we pursue academia in the arts. Having a collaged community of artists studying in this context gives us creative exposure to each other’s making practices as we share our work within and outside of that community.  \n\n\n\nMore About Curator\, Sarah Dawkins \n\n\n\nAs my art studies have altered during my time at UNCG my love and admiration for the study of art and the space has only grown as this expansion is embedded in my practice. Being exposed and encouraged to a range of materials and methodology through study of art history and portfolio building early on with peers specifically has been so broadening for my psyche and life. I’m taking away creative broadening treasures with me\, passed down from well versed faculty that I will use throughout my practice.  \n\n\n\nMore About Curator\, Beyonce Kee \n\n\n\nAs a BA student and student curator\, I co-curated this exhibition not just to uplift our peers but because curating became an unexpected passion that grew from my love of building artistic community. My first experiences organizing shows revealed how powerful it is to create space for others\, and this exhibition continues that mission. With no set theme\, the work on display reflects the individuality\, experimentation\, and vision of each artist. This show is both a celebration and a declaration: that our voices matter\, and that curatorial work can be an act of care\, advocacy\, and joy. \n\n\n\nFeaturing Student Artists \n\n\n\nAlexis Guieb-AlimbuyuguenBeyonce KeeJadeja GainesJordan VadenLinda Parker BoikeMegan DeetsMorgan JarczaszekRachel WitzelSarah DawkinsSarah HinesSparrow Ussery IntintoloThea NettletonZainab Adamou-Mohamed \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! The GPS Student Artist Residency Program
DESCRIPTION:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! \n\n\n\nThe GPS Student Residency Program\n\n\n\nMay Artists-in-Residence: Linda Boike\, Morgan Hesse\, Melanie McAllister\, Jalen Williams\n\n\n\nMay Cohort | May 12 – 24\, 2025\n\n\n\nPublic Open Studio Hours:\n\n\n\nMay 19th | 12-3p\n\n\n\nMay 21st | 2-5p\n\n\n\nMay 23rd | 6-8p\, Celebratory Reception \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space is pleased to present its 3rd Annual Summer Studios: Arts on Site! student residency program. This residency program will assist in educating students that GPS can also act as makerspace\, where they can play\, experiment\, take creative risks\, and develop their artistic voice. \n\n\n\nDesigned to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop\, adapt\, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development\, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development\, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work. The residency’s mission is to be an adaptive space to build a sustaining art community for our UNCG students so their creativity and connection to the Greensboro community thrives.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay Cohort   \n\n\n\nLinda Boike (BA Printmaking and Drawing) intends to investigate her repeatable processes by setting up stations for herself that will serve to keep her busy. She wants to reap and sow. She has more recently been marrying her artistic process with her writing process\, which she would like to incorporate into the residency with hopes of involving other participating artists in doing pass around poems for basic idea generation. She also has a desire to expand on previous work themes and make more worms\, creatures\, and color/darkness poems. Spending time in one place will always cause accumulation. \n\n\n\nMelanie McAllister’s (BFA Painting) artistic practice is rooted in the sensual and tactile nature of oil painting\, which she uses as a means of catharsis and personal reflection. Primarily focused on figurative oil paintings\, she explores themes of vulnerability\, spirituality\, and the formative experiences that have shaped her identity. She aims to create a visual language that reaches beyond her individual experience and resonates with those who view it. She intends to experiment with different paint application methods and processes to help push her approach to these thematic elements and push her work to larger scales. \n\n\n\nJalen Williams (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) plans to explore alternative forms of printmaking and drawing practices. This includes methods such as monoprinting\, gelli plate printing\, and kitchen lithography. He wants to investigate what are the most portable and easily accessible ways of doing printmaking practices on the go. When viewing most printmaking techniques\, most require a sum of items and accessible studio space\, such as press machines\, various chemicals\, and tools. With the residency\, he will propose ways both himself and others can explore the world of printmaking on a smaller scale with more accessibility. \n\n\n\nMorgan Hesse (BFA Photography) plans to deepen her exploration into experimental alternative photographic processes\, building upon previous work with cyanotypes. Her goal is to venture into new territories by experimenting with lumens\, anthotypes\, and other unconventional techniques. The intended project will culminate in a series of unique images\, each capturing the dynamic interplay between light\, chemicals\, and natural materials. A central component of her plan involves constructing a custom UV light box. This tool will allow her to control exposure precisely while experimenting with various materials such as water\, dirt\, salt\, and other substances directly on the surfaces.

SUMMARY:Cloudy Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Cloudy\n\n\n\ndrawing and painting installation\n\n\n\nby Les III \n\n\n\nMay 27 – 31\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, May 30th | 6-8PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About Cloudy  \n\n\n\nI go for regular bicycle rides scanning the horizon and the road before me.  The ever-present sky always has something to show me — as does the roadway.  For over a year I have focused on daily sketch studies of clouds\, a practice of the fundamentals of artmaking as a way of welcoming a renewed concept of flow.  I meditate on how to represent the clouds with making marks on collected bits of paper.  The challenge is to use what is before me — foreign & familiar\, in a way new & known to share a way of upliftingly seeing through challenges inside and outside.  It is a Cloudy departure from my normal way of practice\, yet informs everything I do. \n\n\n\nThis project is funded in part by the 2025 Forsyth County Regional Artist Support Grant and the North Carolina Arts Council. \n\n\n\nMore about Les III \n\n\n\nLes Caison III is an award-winning NC homegrown visual artist.  He prefers mixed media layers of expressive realism\, often utilizing an illustrative\, narrative approach — fashioning quirky\, heartfelt tales among images of people\, places\, and things just waiting to connect with you time and again.  His creative can-do is often seen as drawings on found paper and paintings on panel.  They find their way into storied solo & group shows all over the southeastern U.S..  Peppered among his prolific 25+ year career are numerous curatorial stints\, art project manager posts\, residencies\, commissions\, and adventures too thick to mention.  Les is more.  His work has been exhibited in regional galleries including Asheville\, Greensboro\, and Raleigh; museums including the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center\, Turchin Center for Visual Arts in Boone\, and The Hickory Museum of Art; and is included in numerous private collections.  Les recently completed an impressive 11 quick study portrait project during his two-week Artist-In-Residency at GreenHill’s ArtQuest.  He currently represented by Winston-Salem’s Visual Index Gallery and can be found pedaling about on his bicycle under the clouds. \n\n\n\nTo learn more\, visit: www.LesIII.com or follow Les on Instagram @LesThreee  #LesIII \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Open Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p

SUMMARY:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! The GPS Student Artist Residency Program
DESCRIPTION:Summer Studios: Arts on Site! \n\n\n\nThe GPS Student Residency Program\n\n\n\nAugust Artists-in-Residence: mckenna jones\, Melanie St Clair\, Remus Steward\, knia Williamson\,\n\n\n\nAugust Cohort | August 4 – 16\, 2025\n\n\n\nPublic Open Studio Hours:\n\n\n\nAug 11th | 12-3p\n\n\n\nAug 13th | 2-5p\n\n\n\nAug 15th | 6-8p\, Celebratory Reception \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space is pleased to present its 3rd Annual Summer Studios: Arts on Site! student residency program. This residency program will assist in educating students that GPS can also act as makerspace\, where they can play\, experiment\, take creative risks\, and develop their artistic voice. \n\n\n\nDesigned to support UNCG undergraduate student artists (BA + BFA) striving to develop\, adapt\, and/or reinvent their creative process and to promote artistic growth and development\, artists are afforded two-weeks of uninterrupted research and development\, coupled with financial support and public presentational platforms to share their creative work. The residency’s mission is to be an adaptive space to build a sustaining art community for our UNCG students so their creativity and connection to the Greensboro community thrives.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAugust Cohort \n\n\n\nMcKenna Jones (BFA Art History\, minor Art Administration) plans to investigate the relationship between gender\, body image issues\, and chronic illness. Drawing from personal\, first-hand experience\, they want to illustrate these frustrations associated with these issues and analyze the reasons why these issues are connected to each other through their artwork. \n\n\n\nMelanie St Clair (BFA Printmaking and Drawing) is heavily inspired by paintings of Kusozu\, the nine stages of death\, created in the Edo period of Japan by Buddhist artists. She wants to create imagery reminding us of decay through the use of bones\, old photos\, graves\, rot\, flowers and love. This will include incorporating photography and digital collage to depict the cycle of decay. These images will be created via cyanotypes and photosensitive emulsions in order to utilize sunlight to shed warmth on such a complicated topic. They will be printed onto recycled paper that will be made in the studio. \n\n\n\nRemus Steward (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) intends to develop an installation with optional participation based on sense and memory. They plan to experiment with soft sculpture\, sound and video\, tactile and wearable elements. During the Open Artist Studio Hours and Informal Closing Celebration\, they plan to give the audience the choice of participating in open and short performance-led engagements with the physical and auditory materials they produce. A main objective is to craft and engage with physical objects that will aid in the explorative process\, also acting as manifestations of memory in the real world. Memories can be triggered in a variety of ways\, and frequently have ties to specific scents\, places\, or media. By using physical sensory objects\, audio\, and projected video they will be creating an environment in which to explore these associations. \n\n\n\nKnia Williamson (BFA Sculpture and Ceramics) intends on creating flower vessels inspired by her previous work\, Entomophily\, a simple form accentuated with floral designs. She specifically wants insight into how material impacts the aesthetic and perception of her work. This will be done with the objective of investigating how the form evolves in size\, shape\, and style. She proposes using a variety of materials that extend beyond her current use of earthenware clay\, experimenting with plaster\, fabric\, and air-dry clay to allow for discovery of how the materials impact the perception of the vessels. This exploration will allow her to assess if the new materials elevate or challenge the success of her original design.

SUMMARY:This black feeling Art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This Black Feeling\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Zaire Miles-MoultriE \n\n\n\n August 19 – August 23\, 2025\n\n\n\nReception: Friday\, August 22nd | 6-8P\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore About This Black Feeling \n\n\n\nThis Black Feeling is a culmination of my artistic evolution thus far\, bringing together works from ongoing and completed projects\, individual pieces\, and exploratory sketches. Serving as a window into my visual world\, it reveals the techniques\, narratives\, and emotions that define my practice. \n\n\n\nMoving between the surreal and the real\, my work is imbued with a recurring sensation of black\, but not bleak. A duality of darkness that is rich\, not empty\, a space of possibility rather than absence. For me black and Blackness (both as a color and a social construct) carries a profound complexity: it is a lived reality\, rich with depth\, emotion\, beauty\, a timeless resonance\, and so much more. Through this collection of works\, I invite viewers to engage with their layered meaning and the enduring power of black both as an aesthetic and a conceptual force. \n\n\n\nMore About Zaire  \n\n\n\nRooted in my Southern upbringing\, my work explores Blackness—both a social construct and a lived reality—alongside spirituality and otherness\, transforming the familiar into the mystical. Using biblical iconography\, antique Black figures\, and flora and fauna\, I depict the surreal duality of Southern Black existence. My practice lives at the intersection of heritage and imagination\, where history meets possibility. \n\n\n\nMy collages become portals to examine identity and collective memory. Each piece begins with meticulous research into historical figures\, objects\, and events. I then employ various printmaking techniques to create imagery that I cut\, stitch\, and layer in a deliberate act of storytelling. Using both analog and digital collage methods\, I construct intricate compositions guided by a simple philosophy: If I can’t find it\, I’ll make it; if I can’t make it\, I’ll find it. The work comes to life through traditional printmaking processes like screen-printing and lithography. \n\n\n\nUltimately\, my practice celebrates resilience and the enduring power of printmaking and collage to provoke thought\, stir emotion\, and ignite change. By embracing their transformative potential\, I affirm that every piece carries the power to rewrite history\, reclaim agency\, and reimagine the world anew—for my nieces and nephews\, and for all of us. \n\n\n\nTo learn more follow Zaire on instagram @that_zaire \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Hours \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12-5p \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5p
