NADA Curated by Katie A. Pfohl

The Barbados-born and New Orleans-based artist John Alleyne focuses on spaces of freedom and sanctuary, often using imagery from Black barbershops and salons as source material. Alleyne treats silkscreens as both a printing medium and a mark-making tool, with collaged silkscreen elements—here, a slave ship and a man with eyes lifted towards the sky—sitting alongside free-form gestures in acrylic, enamel, and spray paint that, in the artist’s words, “long for and reflect love, care, and a sanctuary for Black and Brown bodies.”
