Le Bon Voyage - Brooklyn

Tabi Bonney

Tabi Bonney is an independent music artist, director, and creative entrepreneur from Togo, West Africa by way of Washington DC. His songs and visual content have received global support allowing him to travel and create all over the world. Earlier this year, Bonney took a trip to Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. His intention was to learn more about the beverage, as he is currently harvesting coffee beans from his own farms in the Republic of Togo.

The trip quickly became much more as he grew inspired by the beauty, traditional fashion, and magical pride of the men, women, and children he encountered during his journey. This collection of portraits takes you on Le Bon Voyage (the good trip) through the eyes of Bonney and is currently being exhibited in various cities.

Correspondence

“Correspondence” explores the narratives of over 20 U.S. political prisoners who have been jailed for their activism in the Black Liberation movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Through her signature larger-than-life portraiture, Sophia Dawson seeks to humanize the activists, while calling attention to their continued imprisonment and advocating for their freedom.
