Jan., 2012 – Onajide Shabaka is thrilled to announce the opening of “Mangrove Mud Womp,” a solo exhibition of work by multimedia artist, featuring prints, drawings, videos, and sculpture at Second Avenue Studio, on the downtown Fort Lauderdale campus of Florida Atlantic University.
“‘Mangrove Mud Womp’ take us on a mysterious, and miraculous trip through a Florida unseen and only known by a rare few. Onajide Shabaka serves as the visual guide and narrator through this world of the strange and the unique, half real world as we travel into the deep, deep mud of the ancient estuary, the guardian mythic spirit of the mangroves.”
In addition to the exhibition, Florida Atlantic Univ. will host a panel discussion, “Urban Planning & Design and the use of Open Space(s),” moderated by Shabaka and including faculty from the School of Urban & Regional Planning, local architect, Margi Nothard, and others.
