Summary

PERMISSION 2: Languages of Liberation Laid Bare
A Debauchery Ball© exhibition
 
PERMISSION is a glimpse of what melanated people look like outside of the gaze of dominant society, where they feel safe, protected and celebrated. It's a celebration and righting of the perception of Black sensuality, consent and sexuality. It is designed to show who Black and Brown people can be when they are in a safe and comfortable environment. 
 
This exhibit is a collection of images taken by nine photographers given exclusive access to the Debauchery Ball over the last 20 years + artistic intepretations by a number of profound creatives around this theme of Black joy and sensuality. Featured again will by Kymon of Kyndred Studio, Baramesi Ra, Anthony P Roberson, Tony Smith, plus offerings from multi-disciplinary artists, Coco Elysses and ZMOQALXI .
 
Opening night will include a spectacular "Painted, Dark & Divine" WBR-inspired fashion show produced by Kyra Rogers, owner and designer of the new custom shoe line, "MCDXIX." This exhibit is co-curated by Jeneca Onikoyi and Khari B. 
 
 
PERMISSION 2 opens July 26th and runs through September at the beautiful 345 Art Gallery. Viewings outside of the public event are by appointment only. Email: 345artsgallery@gmail.com


The event is FREE but space is limited so only ticketed patrons will be allowed in. Don't miss out. You never know what's going down when Debauchery is around!
