Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏾💗 Sharing a #tb of a p

Happy Juneteenth! ✊🏾💗 Sharing a #tb of a painting I did many years ago in honor of today:

Olokun
Niki Lopez
Acrylic
24″x36″

“Olokun” This piece was created for a Juneteenth Celebration produced by Project Wtiness – The Lynching Eye. One out of four visual artist painting for this event, the route I chose to take was more story-telling and symbolic.

This piece symbolized the present slaves looking forward to the future of the baby (future generations) being born free, shackles broken. While the essence of Olokun watching the past, present, and future.

About the name: The piece name was taken from a Yoruba Orisha. Olokun is the patron saint of Africans that were carried away during the Trans – Atlantic Slave Trade. Olokun is also a protector of the living, dead, and the unborn.

Super excited, honored and grateful to be one of the awardees for Our Fund LGBTQ Arts & Culture Grant. This grant will support a year-long series of What's Your Elephant programming that includes art making workshops, community chats, interactive arts, virtual and some in-person showcases, that will culminate in 2022 that will be centered around various LGBTQ 'elephant' in the room topics.

Our small but mighty team will collaborate with a few community partners such as:
Ujima Men's Collective, Afro Pride Federation, Black Lesbians Archives and the World AIDS MUSEUM and Educational Center. As well as creative colleagues such as artist and curator Khaulah Naima Nuruddin.

What's Your Elephant is a movement that uses the arts to create safe spaces to address the unspoken. We provoke awareness and facilitate discussions unveiling unaddressed topics including, but not limited to; gender, discrimination and abuse. Included in that focus is breaking the stigmas connected to mental health and counseling. It shows us how art can heal, art can be a tool to start a conversation and start to unpack the things we and the world around us are challenged with. Art is a form of advocacy and can be used to build understanding and community.

These photos are from yesterday's Our Fund LGBTQ Arts & Culture Grant Reception. Our Fund is South Florida’s only 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ community foundation, promoting philanthropy and support for community non-profits.

#nikilopezpresents: Poetry performance by Flow Div

#nikilopezpresents: Poetry performance by Flow Diva and Chunky 2013. #repost from @nikilopez19

#throwbackthursday: April is National Poetry Month and April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month - two very important spaces for me. So it’s fitting to share this powerful #poetry performance from Rachel Finley aka Flow Diva and Chunky.

This performance was from August 10, 2013, during the #openmic and closing of the Parallels art exhibition at the 1310 Gallery. Curated and produced by Niki Lopez in collaboration with Alana DaCosta and highlighting our community partner, the Flight Center who’s mission is to guide those aging out of foster care and other vulnerable youth for a successful transition to independence through housing, education, employment, and system of care coordination.

Both Chunky and Flow Diva have a long history in the poetry and spoken word arena and are amazing poets in their own right.

This was one year before officially birthing What’s Your Elephant - a movement that uses the arts to create a safe space to address the unspoken.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is a campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault and educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.

The goals of National Poetry Month are to highlight the extraordinary legacy and ongoing achievement of poets and poetry.

1310 Gallery is an artist-run collective housed within the Sailboat Bend Artists Lofts. Voted #bestgallery for 2013 by Broward Newtimes

#throwback 2019: Niki Lopez Creative was invited by L.A. Lee YMCA Family Center to coordinate, curate, program and produce an ongoing project - A Sistrunk Legacy: Community Kiki Arts Programs - Funded in part by a grant from @knightfdn as a part of its Knight's Arts Challenge. This project used the arts to engaged the community through history, connecting, collaboration and storytelling.

There was several community arts workshops lead by various local artists ranging from painting, theater, film, drumming and collage work, intergenerational community gatherings (Kikis) and local historians which ended with a culminating showcase and family-focused celebration. January - November 2019.

Funding for this project was in part by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its Knight Arts Challenge. Which allowed this to be free, accesisble and open to all in Sistrunk community.

A few years later and still have the honor with working with the LA Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center, still working with the Sistrunk community, still working with arts, historians and community engagement. This time, taking it up some notches with the Sankofa Arts Project, details: https://whatsyourelephant.org/sankofa-arts-project
