Shaunda Holloway: Abstract Rebel
The Building Fund was proud to present Shaunda Holloway: Abstract Rebel in partnership with The New Haven Free Public Library, Mitchell Branch. In her layered collages, paintings, photographs, and prints, Holloway creates depth—both literally and figuratively—that honors the expansiveness of the African diaspora. Her works contain a narrative quality, with stories that unfold the longer and harder a viewer engages the work, lending their own unique interpretation. Working somewhat spontaneously and intuitively, Holloway harnesses the unbridled freedom of jazz music in her distinct application of color, texture, and scale.
Shaunda Holloway: Abstract Rebel, curated by nico w. okoro, was on view at Mitchell Library January 27 - March 31, 2025.
