The Bazaar - curated by Brit Sadé and Samuel Boakye (Kwasi Paul)

This exhibition offers an immersive design experience and a platform for cultural exchange. The exhibition is part of a broader initiative to explore the intersections of sustainability, innovation, and cultural representation in art and design.

Rooted in the visual languages of the African diaspora, the exhibition highlights how design is not only aesthetic but also deeply functional and symbolic. From textile patterns to architectural forms, the works on view draw inspiration from diasporic traditions while embracing contemporary techniques. By examining the intersection between art and design, the exhibition underscores how creative practices can serve as tools for storytelling, identity formation, and cultural continuity. In neighborhoods like Harlem—with its rich legacy of Black art and cultural leadership—this dialogue is especially impactful, affirming the role of design in shaping both the physical and social fabric of the community.
