“DINOSAURS ON THE BLOCK,” at Hyde Park’s Connect Gallery is an art exhibition celebrating the might and majesty of Dinosaurs and the African Diaspora.

Dinosaurs on the Block” aims to convey the depth and power of art, showcasing the intersection of imagination and reality. It emphasizes the importance of creating art for oneself, embodying the spirit of liberation and authenticity. The exhibit invites visitors to recognize that anyone can be an artist and that art can encompass myriad forms of self-expression.

The exploration of art’s transformation through time is central to the show. It delves into how youthful passion and curiosity give way to mature reflection, touching on themes of trauma and healing. The exhibit underscores the role of art in unearthing layers of emotional resonance, much like the layers of the Earth revealing ancient history.

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone available to attend. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
