Description

Olympia is thrilled to present a two-person exhibition of husband-and-wife artists Basie Allen and Cassandra Mayela Allen for NADA Miami 2024. Known for their materially nuanced, diasporic explorations, both artists examine the tensions and harmonies within natural and urban environments. Celebrating their craft and the life they’ve woven together, this marks the first time their work has been presented in an exclusive dialogue.
