[Juanita Martin]

• brother jeff and U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar We have reached capacity at brother jeff's Cultural Center for the U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar events. No more RSVPs are being accepted. However, the Free Think Zone discussion will be live via brother jeff's FB page. I Can Show You Better Than I Can Tell You Join brother jeff’s Cultural Center Thursday 5.29.25 at the Art Students League of Denver 200 Grant Street from 6-8pm. We are going to see Desi’s exhibit: I Can Show You Better Than I Can Tell You. Free! Desirae Brown is currently attending an artist Residency in Denver CO at the Art Student League of Denver. Her work presently revolves around sculpture. Her artwork is a response to growing up as a Black child and addresses her mother's influence on her in their single-parent household. Additionally, it delves into themes like being a woman and a single mother herself, Black single motherhood, and social class. Her goal is to create works that open a space for discussions of all these themes. Artist Statement: Many symbols in our culture associated with low-income black women and/or women of color have negative connotations. They are often viewed as cliche, reduced to a type and not a person: Lazy, low class, young, unmarried, uneducated, uncultured, non-contributing members of society.  I respond to these perceptions by elevating materials often associated with lesser value and lower class: [bed foam, pig intestines, food stamps, earthenware, etc.] Instead, I use them as tools to expose the true brilliance upholding black motherhood: Limitless creativity, resourcefulness, intelligence, resilience, selflessness, awareness, humility, self-sacrifice, patience, perseverance, protectiveness, triumph, advocacy and at the root of everything, LOVE.    “And, if I know anything at all, it’s that a wall is just a wall and nothing more at all.   It can be broken down”.  Assata Shakur Consider becoming a Patreon of brother jeff.
