See it now through Feb 3. And, don’t forgot to grab your tickets for tomorrow’s horn-infused dance party with Soul in the Horn! Dance to hits from the 1960-80’s, enjoy a special after hours viewing of Soul of a Nation, and have your portrait taken by Paper Monday.
#tbt to last summer! I had just been diagnosed with #t1d in the spring and left my job shortly after. I spent a lot of time working on my sculptures, learning about my illness, visiting doctors, going to therapy, and building the perfect résumé (really, I spent like 4 months on that thing!) Because of her open call for models, I connected with Gabriela Mendez who shot these photos. I also met MaryV and Chella in the process since the shoot was in their home. I’m glad to have met these talented, thoughtful artists during this summer of slow growth and self-discovery.
