EXHIBITION INFORMATION
Orientation: The Voice of the Youth (OTVY), is a public art exhibition to be displayed in Stapleton Waterfront Park.
OTVY is an outdoor exhibition with sixteen visual pieces and accompanying audio, an interactive collection of community members’ audio reflections, and three community events dispersed throughout the exhibition run time. The artist’s work will be displayed in a mobile gallery, with select paintings featuring affiliated audio, which includes snippets of thoughtful discussion between students and MHB.
THE CONCEPT – A UNIQUE EXPLORATION INTO ADULTHOOD.
OTVY, the exhibition, is an exploration and excavation of the experiences, thoughts, and feelings of a group of Staten Island elementary school students as well as the artist, MHB, on the world around them.
MHB's artwork, a capsule of her orientation to adulthood and year of exploration, facilitated wide ranging, multifaceted, and substantive group discussions with the students about current events and their personal experiences.
Orientation: The Voice of the Youth will be an introduction to the Kamara Foundation, BLKSHE’s philanthropic arm and serve as the foundation for the development of an artist residence program through The Platform, addressing arts education deserts in Black and Brown communities.
Who is MHB?
Artist MHB, is a traveler creating art in correspondence with her life-affirming thoughts. M exposes her audience to her queries about life and makes art accessible to the everyday person by curating art experiences. Themes emerging from M’s work open dialogue about an appreciation of beauty, worldly events, and the hardships of the mind. For M, life is always in transit and changing. Her artwork technique is experimental and playful, with an evolving style grounded in sharing visuals of true stories and experiences that are often untold or mistold in African and Black culture.
