Opening Soon: @JameaRichmondEdwards' first solo exhibition at Library Street Collective, Currency, opens on Saturday, October 15th from 6-8pm. Currency will be on view both in her hometown of Detroit and in New York at @KravetsWehbyGallery. Visit the link in bio to learn more!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In this body of work, Richmond-Edwards utilizes mythology to deconstruct the definition and etymology of the word currency. By unpacking the word, she analyzes the literal interconnectedness of language and culture as it relates to the present: “‘Currency’ basically encapsulates the ideas that have been running through my mind the past couple of years, and so I decided to exploit the concept creatively. ‘Currency’ explores capitalism. ‘Currency’ is a medium of exchange, both verbally or intellectually. ‘Currency’ is being current—current as in the now.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #JameaRichmondEdwards #LibraryStreetCollective
