Opening: The Nesting Project by Talley Williams

  • Janette Kennedy Gallery 1409 Botham Jean Boulevard Dallas, TX, 75215 United States (map)

In this multi-media exhibition, Williams confronts misassociated accounts of creation with the roles and identity of descendants of the African Diaspora. She presents in its place, an account of origin derived from recent dreams of The Nest, and an astral projected journey through The Black (W)hole. With various characters in this visional narrative, the showcase combines 2D works with large-scale 3D sculptures and conceptual wearable garments. The visual impact of the installation serves as a symbolic reference of Black people relied upon for source, but otherwise invisible. This account of creation shifts the narrative of assigned value by presenting an unexpected connection between Dark Matter, said to hold the Multiverse together and the descendants of the Diaspora.
