Excited to invite you to an Artist Talk by the Delphine Diallo on "Ancestral Intelligence."
Dive into a conversation about art, identity, and heritage! This is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about culture and storytelling through visuals.

Delphine Diallo: Brooklyn-based artist Delphine Diallo, of French and Senegalese descent, uses photography to deconstruct biased representations of women.  Inspired by Peter Beard, she empowers black women, transforming them into goddesses through body paint, jewelry, and unique attire.  Her ethical practice prioritizes long-term relationships with subjects, ensuring authentic representation.  Combining spiritual symbolism and mythology, Diallo challenges conventional portraiture, incorporating martial arts, non-Western literature, and AI into her self-portraits and collages.  She envisions an inclusive, matriarchal future through her provocative visuals.
