Art Basel Miami 2024: My Photo Journal

 The cultural stimuli of Art Basel.

The art sculpture that I'm perched upon at the Miami Design District is entitled Pearl Jam by Zimbabwean artist Nicole Nomsa Moyo. The sculptures represent a contemporary take on the beads used by the Ndebele tribal women of South Africa.

My Art Basel Style.
 @miamibeach @themiamibeachcc was on the world stage hosting @artbasel. The attire was stylish comfort, so I did my best to dress the part.

My Art Basel Trip to Miami Design District (first stop).

@lvmh Culture House was first stop for my daytrip to Miami for Art Basel. The cool multimedia exhibition featured multicultural emerging artists. Co-curators were @mrcoreysmith & @steadyfloh

There was some art that pulled you in, and I just wanted to reach out and touch (but I didn't).

My Artists Pick at @artbasel@februaryjames

The painting Somebody's Auntie captured my attention because I thought of the poignant presence of aunties within the Black family.

What are your fond memories of your auntie?

February James is a native of Washington, D.C. and she earned a BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

My Artist Highlight from @artbasel

Madalena Santos Reinbolt (1919-1977) of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She was self-taught and began working in art in the mid-1950s while working as a cook.
