"Eyedentity" spotlights Florida artist Tasanee Durrett's soul-stirring artwork painted in vibrant dotwork and continuous line techniques. Curated by Amber Steele of SteeleHaus, this exhibition transports viewers on an inward journey celebrating the diversity of healing narratives. Each piece captures both the joyful and painful complexities of untangling one's roots across the African diaspora to arrive at a more holistic sense of self and community. Centered on themes of resilience, spiritual tradition, and collective consciousness, Durrett's compositions portray an otherworldly beauty while retaining raw emotional resonance. "Eyedentity" provides a meditative space to honor wisdom that only confronting trauma and systematic oppression can harvest, all while highlighting the possibilities ahead for emotional and spiritual liberation. Experimenting with various salts from table salt to sea salts to Himalayan salts, Durrett draws parallels to the mineral's symbolic meaning yet obscured labor origins with that of diasporic experiences. The mineral's essence preserves and subtly deepens cultural resilience and wisdom passed down generations.
From February 9th - March 31st, Durrett invites viewers to trace their own journeys across these healing visual narratives and find a piece of themselves within them. This exhibition has been made possible in part by the Individual Artist grant from United Arts of Central Florida.
Opening Reception: Friday February 9th 7-9pm There will be live music, light refreshments and great conversations!
