"I Do It For The HOOD." (Pt. 2) A Collection of Works by Antoinette Cauley

“I Do It For The HOOD.”

A Collection of Works by Antoinette Cauley

Opening December 15th 2023 at Modified Arts Downtown

Live music from DJ John Blaze, low riders from the Sophisticated Car Club, Drinks, Art and more.

Antoinette will be at the gallery for the opening December 15th.

This exhibition is free and open to the public.

"Hood Culture" embodies a deliberate redefinition of imposed marginalization and stereotypical narratives, showcasing the resilience, resourcefulness, and distinctive style of communities predominantly comprised of Black descendants of American slaves, Indigenous People and Latinos. While the term "Hood" is often burdened with negative connotations, it is important to recognize that Hood culture is a product of systemic racism, stemming from the hands of violent and oppressive colonizers.

In 2021, Antoinette ventured to Berlin, Germany, both to advance her career and lay the groundwork for aspiring Black artists and entrepreneurs in Phoenix. This exhibition, divided into two parts, emphasizes her commitment to empowering and uplifting her community through every part of her journey, including her time abroad.

This extraordinary body of work not only expresses love and appreciation for the Black community and the Hoods (of South and other parts of) Phoenix, but it also compels viewers to confront their own relationship with colonialism and inherent racism. Antoinette Cauley's artwork serves as a catalyst for dialogue, fostering introspection and a deeper understanding of our shared history.

I Do It For The HOOD.

A Collection of Works by Antoinette Cauley

Die Ausstellung ist kostenlos und für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich.

"I Do It For The HOOD" ist eine intime und kraftvolle Hommage der Künstlerin Antoinette Cauley an ihre Gemeinschaft in (South) Phoenix. Als Südphönizierin der dritten Generation, die jetzt in Berlin lebt und arbeitet, erforscht diese Ausstellung die Überschneidung zwischen ihrer Karriere und dem Leben schwarzer Südphönizier anhand einer fesselnden Sammlung von Porträts, darunter auch einige von Antoinettes eigenen Familienmitgliedern.

Im Jahr 2021 ging Antoinette nach Berlin, um ihre Karriere voranzutreiben und den Grundstein für aufstrebende schwarze Künstler und Unternehmer in Phoenix zu legen. Diese Ausstellung, die in zwei Teile gegliedert ist, unterstreicht ihr Engagement, ihre Gemeinschaft in jedem Teil ihrer Reise zu stärken und zu fördern.

Der erste Teil von "I Do It For The HOOD" findet in Deutschland statt, wo Antoinette ihren Wurzeln in South Phoenix Tribut zollt und sie daran erinnert, dass die Welt ihnen gehört. Der deutsche Teil der Ausstellung wird nur eine Nacht dauern und findet von 18:00-21:00 Uhr im Backhaus Projects in Berlin-Neukölln statt. Diese Veranstaltung ist kostenlos und öffentlich zugänglich. Alle Altersgruppen sind willkommen, aber bitte bedenken Sie, dass die Musik unzensiert sein wird.

Antoinette Cauley in Berlin, Germany by Nicola Kosovic

Dieses außergewöhnliche Werk ist nicht nur ein Ausdruck der Liebe und Wertschätzung für die schwarze Gemeinschaft in Phoenix und die Hoods in den Vereinigten Staaten, sondern zwingt den Betrachter auch dazu, sich mit seiner eigenen Beziehung zum Kolonialismus und dem ihm innewohnenden Rassismus auseinanderzusetzen. Antoinette Cauleys Kunst dient als Katalysator für einen Dialog, der die Selbstreflexion und ein tieferes Verständnis für unsere gemeinsame Geschichte fördert.
