CLOSING! AJUAN MANCE EXHIBIT @ QUEER ARTS CENTER GALLERY

✨ Now Showing: Ajuan Mance at The Queer Arts Center Gallery! 

🎨Enter a world where bold color meets tender storytelling. In this electrifying solo exhibit, artist and scholar Ajuan Mance invites us to witness Black life in all its complexity, magic, and joy.

Ajuan Mance's digital illustrations center Black characters—especially femmes, elders, and gender-expansive folks—rendered in bright, unapologetic hues. Each piece offers a narrative: from cosmic dreamers floating in star-streaked afros to mermaids draped in maps of the diaspora, and elders in retro swimwear exchanging soft glances of love and laughter.

💬 These are portraits of care, resistance, imagination, and everyday beauty. They’re also acts of cultural reclamation—reminding us that we are radiant, that we exist beyond survival, and that we belong in the future.

🖼️ Opening + Artist Talk: Weds. June 11 | 5:30–7pm

📍 The Queer Arts Center Gallery | 3411 Lakeshore Ave, Oakland CA
