Artist of the Day: Kay Napoli Durantes
Artist of the Day: Kay Napoli Durantes has designed an Afro-Futurist mask to be constructed in clay, that celebrates concepts from African culture and symbols of future hope. The beautiful crown is also a halo and is orbited by the planets as if the spirit of the mask symbolizes the sun. The eyes of the mask are closed, symbolizing ‘the unknown’ and peace with it. Kay takes inspiration from Black Panther and has given the mask a feminine panther’s features. The Adinkra symbol on the panther’s cheeks is symbolic of “greatness and leadership” Come see this mask once it is complete in the Black History Month Annual Jubilee in February!
