Freedom To Be: Paintings by Waleed Johnson
Please join us for the reception of our solo pop-up exhibition featuring talented local painter, Waleed Johnson. "In many communities of color, silence and suppression are coping mechanisms for emotional trauma. We are taught to not talk about mental health; thus, our emotional struggles are often times neglected. Black culture is full of expressions of emotion; however, when it comes to pain, sadness, depression or mental health issues, these emotions are often suppressed under the guise of being strong. My work seeks to bring light to the so-called "weak" or negative emotions that people of color hide, and to remind people that it is okay to not be okay." - Waleed Johnson
