Exhibition Description
In RECESS, Michaela Yearwood-Dan assembles vivid paintings, ceramics, and installations that draw on her identity as a queer, Black artist. The exhibition melds botanical motifs, expressive color palettes, and references to healing, memory, and diasporic pleasure — creating immersive environments that challenge traditional narratives of Blackness and offer spaces of rest, resilience, and joy. Through layered imagery and symbolic materials, Yearwood-Dan invites viewers to engage with complex themes of identity, community, intimacy, and transformation.
