Shirley Parker-Benjamin is an interdisciplinary artist who creates work across the genres of sculptural mixed media, assemblage, installation, and works on paper. She explores the intersection between ancestral, spiritual and the feminine. Shirley integrates found objects, natural materials, pigments, beadwork and fiber.
Onaje Benjamin is a documentary photographer and visual storyteller. His images are an extension of his curiosity about culture, humanity and politics and how these entities dance along the social fault lines of history, conflict, social change and rebellion. “My images are artistic representations of the lives people live, their challenges, conflicts and the dances they do while weaving in and out of their own experiences.”
These two artist’s share the common thread of exploring what makes us human and how we manage our inner and outer lives.
