Crepu: Our DNA -- A Conversation with Sandra Ngenge Dusabe and Sharlene Clarke
This morning, Susan chats with the organizers behind Crepu: Our DNA, Sharlene Clarke (Hors Pair Social) and Sandra Ngenge Dusabe (The Moving Art Gallery). The two creative entrepreneurs have joined forces with Hors Pair Social to invite Ottawa-Gatineau creatives and art lovers to Ottawa’s Premier Black Hair Art Show at Club SAW on February 5th and 6th, 2023.
According to the organizers, "Hair is a medium that Black folks use to express creativity, to preserve history, and it is seen as a symbol of resilience. CRÉPU OUR DNA aims to explore these ideas through photography, film, discussion, and performance. The two-day exhibit will highlight works by Bobby Brugal, Dion Prints, Francesca Désulmé, Stephane Alexis, Yodit Michele, and Oladimeji Odunsi."
