On View: January 27 - March 31, 2025

Mitchell Library, 37 Harrison Street, New Haven, CT, 06515

The Bldg Fund is proud to present Shaunda Holloway: Abstract Rebel in partnership with The New Haven Free Public Library, Mitchell Branch. The exhibition is located in the Mitchell Library Program Room on the ground floor, and features new works by artist, curator, teacher, and writer Shaunda Sekai Holloway. Abstract Rebel opens to the public on Monday, January 27th with a reception, where the artist and the exhibition’s curator, nico w. okoro, will be present. In her layered collages, paintings, photographs, and prints, Holloway creates depth—both literally and figuratively—that honors the expansiveness of the African diaspora. Her works contain a narrative quality, with stories that unfold the longer and harder a viewer engages the work, lending their own unique interpretation. Working somewhat spontaneously and intuitively, Holloway harnesses the unbridled freedom of jazz music in her distinct application of color, texture, and scale.
