Momma Loves Jazz” and “Welcome to the Mothership: We Gather in Their Name” is a paired exhibition featuring artists Carla Sue Lyles and Jakayla Monay, respectively. Artist Stacey Allen, who curated the exhibition, sees both of these works through the lens of non-linear time. “Jakayla’s imagined future and Carla’s reflections on the past speak to one another in ways that remind us that healing isn’t separate from dreaming.
