In the windows, the canvases by Chimba (Chiarra Jonelle Hughes Mba) present Women of the Earth, pregnant with child, hope, and history. A transformative journey distilled into one radiant image. Indoors, the boards are used to tell an entire story. These wordless images can be read like a graphic novel or cave painting, with the subject’s story unfolding as you follow their journey through beginning, middle and end. Chimba’s painting style is a blend of natural African tribalism and the fluid movements learned from modern fashion design.
