Powerful and bold- Oasa DuVerney is not afraid to be authentic and let her work challenge the status quo. Creating a narrative that speaks to universal themes of systemic racism, gentrification and politics, her graphite drawings found in her Dumbo studio contextualize these issues as a black female artist living in the United States today and challenge society to change the collective conscious. We are equal, and we are enough.
Be sure to check our her collaborative fence weaving installation titled DO NOT DISAPPEAR INTO SILENCE on the façade of the Brooklyn Museum, courtesy of her community project Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine, as well as her work in the Spring/Break “TV Guide” in New York. This year, Oasa will be transitioning from her residency at BRIC Artist Workspace to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum to continue her important work.
