Featuring the visual and performance art of Fatima Elzien, Rohena Alam Khan and Y. Ben Yisrael
BLOOM FR is loosely based on Jean-Michel Basquiat’s famous catchphrase boom for real.
Rooted in exploration and imagination this show features bold and thematic canvassed art, traditional dance form of Bharatanatyam as presented by Rohena Alam Khan and Performance poetry by Fatima Elzien and Y. Ben Yisrael
Bloom For Real is an exploration of color, culture, alchemy,
that conjures Rebirth and rebuilding.
Blooming as it relates to internal revolution.
Blooming as it relates to metamorphosis.
Bloom as in the process of making the world more ornate
through transformation
into the flower that
we wish to see.
Struggle, sorrow, passion,
lust and introspection
on the canvas is what Bloom FR embodies
An ode to the beastly and angelic
natures which wrestle within us all.
An initiation beyond the expectations of society
This is vulnerability and defiance.
An examination of the most important movement of them all.
The riots within our hearts and the invitation to suppress them or submit.
We Bloom when we take that leap of faith in ourselves.
We Bloom when we rejoice in our collective genius.
We bloom when we crown ourselves.
