Featured Artist

Omopé Carter-Daboiku

I am often called a "griot" -- a "rememberer" charged with holding onto tradition and transmitting ancestral knowledge to future generations. As such, my work centers on inter-generational relationships, and the impact of time and place in developing personal identity. A residency with me as teaching artist could result in an exhibition of textile art, a story performance with music embedded, or anthologies of personal memoir and collective poems.
