Everyday People: 1/05 - 1/30, 2021
IN-PERSON SHOW
featuring work by Sharela May Bonfield
PARADICE PALASE is pleased to host Everyday People, a solo presentation of recently completed quilts by Brooklyn artist Sharela May Bonfield. The works will be part of a window display viewable from the sidewalk throughout the month of January 2021, featuring her triptych “Everyday People” and her round quilt “BLM”. With the triptych "Everyday People”, lyrics from protest songs are deconstructed and rearranged with chants from the Black Lives Matter Movement to create a visual sampler inspired by the tradition of music sampling, a foundation in hip hop music. The works are sewn with red, black, and green borders representing the Pan-African flag when displayed together. Songs sampled include:
