Art historian and curator of the exhibition Angela N. Carroll notes, “Chabwera has been dreaming about the possibility of personifying energy through the Eastern concept of embodied energy, chakras, for over five years. Etheric Bodies: Portraits of the Sacred Self is the culmination of her journey to date and represents a powerful series from a promising artist.”
The opening event will include free workshops in sound healing, yoga, meditation, and movement provided by Shawana Ward and a live musical performance by The Emperor King Bishop. Limited edition catalogs, featuring a critical essay from art historian Rashieda Witter, will be available for purchase on-site at NomüNomü.
