INTRODUCING
THIS HEAVENLY BODY
A PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE BY SEED LYNN
CURATED BY ASHARA EKUNDAYO
OPENING RECEPTION
SATURDAYS APRIL 5TH 6 PM - 9 PM
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT: Through film, photography, and installation, "This Heavenly Body" explores the significance of roller rinks as cultural and communal havens in the U.S. Midwest. At its core, the exhibition serves as a political response to the increasing closures of these sacred spaces of Black leisure and social connection across the country. Additionally, Lynn’s creative use of long-exposure photography highlights the Black skaters in natural light, providing an ethereal quality, making the figures appear “heavenly.”
