We are more than
the boxes
this world told us
we could not break.

Flow Space Gallery is proud to present our first group show More Than A Month. Curated by Ewurakua Dawson-Amoah, the exhibit brings together Lucianna Ania, Traci Johnson, Marley Howard, Dara Eitenne, Devyn Dais, Fatou Ridgrid, Julia Roland, Kyra Clemons and Sam Felix. Together the work featured constructs visual spaces where black, queer, gender expansive and marginalized identities are at the front lines of their stories.
Through painting, collage, mixed media and installation these artists create scenes of strength, love and whimsy. Their individual practices pull from black feminist theory, Afro surrealism, spirituality, nature and creating emotional landscapes.
Materiality in this exhibition plays a critical role through the use of layered surfaces, saturated colour, found materials and tactile processes which echo tradition, memory, resistance and representation. Each artist works through their progress to create portals into spirituality, nature, love, and lived experience.
More Than A Month invites viewers to witness, honor and celebrate with each individual artists stories in their fullness. Each artists journey speaks to each other within the space creating an environment that centers around community, forming a collective affirmation of whimsy, history, breaking boundaries and joy as resistance.
About
Flow Space was created from a deep love for the arts and a commitment to community.
​
More than a gallery, Flow Space is a community rooted art space, dedicated to showcasing the powerful, personal, and political works of artists who may exist outside traditional structures of recognition, self-taught visionaries, and those forging paths on their terms. With a particular focus on supporting women-identifying and LGBTQIA+ artists, Flow Space seeks to make room for those too often overlooked and to affirm the importance of their voices.
​
Flow Space extends beyond the confines of visual art, aiming to be a platform for lived experience, storytelling, and unapologetic self-expression in all its forms. Here, there is no expectation to explain or conform. We believe in art without censorship, identity without compromise, and community without judgment.
