This is the first BmoreArt issue that considers migration as a primary influence–not just upon materials and style, but also conceptually, spiritually, ethically, and socially. Issue 15 features a variety of international artists who call Baltimore home, including Cindy Cheng from Hong Kong, David Page and Jo Smail from South Africa, Anysa Saleh from Yemen, Jessy DeSantis from Nicaragua, and Taha Heydari from Iran. We explore the humanitarian culinary work of Mera Kitchen Collective, Australian musical group Smoke Bellow, and fashion by Yelé Oladeinde from Nigeria—now based at Motor House.
