UNI.VERSE EXHIBITS
The Brief

individuality
The category was iNDiViDUALiTY. Uni.Verse and its all-Black creative group launched their first-ever art exhibit inside an actual gallery—marking a major milestone for me as my first exhibit to be showcased in such a space.
The show featured powerful work from premier African artists and Bay Area creators, alongside a vibrant photography series capturing the unapologetic energy of Black LGBTQ+ community leaders and creatives from the Bay.
The exhibit transported guests into an immersive environment full of cultural art, Instagram-worthy moments, and dynamic storytelling.
parallel transition
A Moment Worth Capturing: The exhibit was born at the intersection of two defining moments in 2020—the isolation of COVID-19 and the global movement for racial justice. It felt like artists needed a place to process, respond, and be heard.
Building a Space for Expression: I transformed my backyard into a gallery, opening it to artists from around the world to share work that reflected the emotions, questions, and conversations shaping that moment in history.
The Beginning of Uni.Verse: What started as my first exhibit became the foundation for everything that followed. It affirmed my belief that creating space for Black artists doesn't just strengthen the work—it gives people a reason to connect with it.
Dream Catcher
Exploring the Many Dreams We Carry: Dream Catcher invited artists and guests to reflect on the dreams that shape us—from personal ambitions and family aspirations to the American Dream and dreams deferred.
Weaving Dreams Together: At the heart of the exhibit, I designed an immersive dream-weaving installation surrounded by works from Black artists around the world, turning individual hopes into a shared experience.
Finding Ourselves in the Story: The exhibit became a reminder that while our dreams may look different, they often shape the same things—our values, our choices, and the future we're working to create.
