After the momentum of The New Renaissance, we’re stepping back into that energy — sharper, more intentional, and expanded.
OPEN CALL: The New Renaissance Part II
As one year dissolves into the next, this next iteration invites digital artists to reflect on growth, rebirth, and transformation — quiet or chaotic.

This multidisciplinary showcase brings together digital art, traditional art, live music, and cultural creators under one roof — celebrating creativity, representation, and community in the heart of Manhattan’s luxury art corridor.

I’m incredibly proud to share this spotlight from my interview with Harlem Fine Arts Show featuring Richard E. Pelzer II. As Senior Advisor of Social Engagement, it was an honor to lead a conversation centered on art advocacy, intentional curation, and the responsibility that comes with building meaningful collections.
Richard shared powerful insights on supporting Black artists, shaping cultural narratives through collecting, and how thoughtful stewardship can shift institutions and communities. These are the kinds of conversations that move culture forward — and I’m proud to help platform them.
The interview was filmed at Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, produced by Bleu Pablo, and created in support of HFAS’s continued mission to honor the richness and complexity of the African Diaspora.
Grateful to contribute to this dialogue — and excited for what’s ahead.
I shared this event on Instagram.

Work With Me
I’m currently open to work across creative direction, photography, film, and cultural production — especially projects that live at the intersection of art, music, fashion, culture, and experimental technology.
I’m most interested in projects that treat storytelling as a lived experience: physical events, content ecosystems, or hybrid activations that feel intentional rather than extractive.
If you’re exploring how narrative moves through the digital age, I’d love to talk.
You can reach me directly at [email protected], or connect via Instagram, Twitter, or Linkedin.
My portfolio is available here.
I’ve been spending a lot of time moving through galleries across the city — looking for new work, new conversations, and new collaborators. If you’re in NYC and want to talk art, music, technology, or simply share a coffee, feel free to hit reply.
