Sydney Rose Maubert: Smile For Me: The Flea
The exhibition presents work that considers layered explorations of Southern flea markets, as a point of Black and Indigenous exchange. This work specifically reflects on the flea market as a site of cultural production, through the fashion and musical expression of Miami and Atlanta Bass culture. Flea markets are emblematic of Bass culture, a sub-genre of Southern hip hop and its attending visual culture, a material residue of Black and Indigenous intersectionality from the Saltwater Railroad. Debuting new paintings, metalwork sculptures, and site-specific installation — the works document movement between people, objects, and space witnessed in Miami and in recent travels to Decatur and Sapelo Island, Georgia.
