Watson Mere, "You Are The Myth" | Presented by Chashama

EFA Studio Member Watson Mere’s Solo Exhibition You Are The Myth opens July 1.

Presented by Chashama, 6:00 - 9:00 PM

227 West 29th Street

New York, NY 10001

You Are The Myth is an art exhibition by artist Watson Mere. The collection presents a body of work that the artist has been building since 2021. The concept behind these works was to create a fusion between modern black diasporic themes and cultures and combine them with ancient mythological stories ranging from Biblical tales, and Egyptian mythology, to Yoruba Orisha legend and more. Mere's vision for the exhibition was to create a meeting ground where these two worlds can tell a griot-like story to the viewer, translating stories of the past, creating dialogue about the present, and presenting prophecies of the future.

Each piece presents a concept that explores the notion that the moral and lessons within these "myths" not only exist within the macro of modern black culture but also within the micro-fine details and themes in our everyday lives.

No Bios Featured In Hyperallergic

EFA Project Space’s exhibition in partnership with Visual Aids is featured in Hyperallergic’s must-see shows for the month of June! No Bios is on view until June 24th.

In this simultaneously serious, lighthearted, and moving presentation curated by Isis Awad, the New York-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting the work of artists with HIV/AIDS looks introspectively, asking the question: “Does an exhibition need to be ‘about’ HIV and AIDS to make it ‘on mission’ for Visual AIDS?” The vast breadth of works in the show — from HIV-positive photographer D’Angelo Lovell Williams’s intimate self-portraits to the late artist and trans activist Chloe Dzubilo’s uncanny assemblages — offer a layered and nuanced response to this important query. — Valentina Di Liscia
