Writing Club at the MoMA is part of the initiative Artful Practices for Well-Being, which offers ideas for connectedness and healing through art. Each 60-minute workshop I gave was offered twice, once in MoMA’s galleries and once online via Zoom.
 Each session revolved around a theme that I explored through guided writing prompts based on MoMA’s collection. The intention was to offer a calm, supportive, and welcoming environment for anyone interested in writing in response to art in the company of fellow writing enthusiasts. &#38;nbsp;

Images from Writing Club: Anaïs Duplan on Spatialization, Thu, Mar 10 at MoMA Galleries, focusing on artworks by Deanna Lawson, and Shambhavi.

Conceived as a performance piece for a photographer, two models, and a director, Private Party is an opportunity to witness oneself performing in the public gaze. Live video footage and sound, sourced from YouTube and Taos radio formed the backdrop against which performers of color worked through a series of meditations intended to explore personality, ambition, the experience of being seen as a brown body, and love. Participants were invited to watch the film/photoshoot and to take selfies at designated locations. As a durational, live experiment, Private Party explores the friction between technology and intimacy, framing and knowing, seeing and being.

In three projects across media, Duplan presses against language’s limitations while presenting expanded possibilities of form. Duplan presents The Lovers Are the Audience Who Watch in two channels, which borrows language from Julianne Huxtable’s Mucus in My Pineal Gland (2017) and considers video as ambient. Also shown are excerpts from Blackspace: On the Poetics of an Afrofuture (2019) snippets of text interlaced with images printed on circular metal, recalling the shape of vinyl records. Throughout the space and in conversation with the cohort’s are stanzas from the manuscript I NEED MUSIC (Action Books, 2021), which too contemplate upon images (“as page,” or otherwise) and future (“cancelled / due to a thunderstorm”).Full show can be accessed at EFA Project Space

This exhibition was curated by Anaïs Duplan and organized by Legacies for Iowa: A University of Iowa Museum of Art Collections-Sharing Project, supported by the Matthew Bucksbaum Family. On view at Figge Art Museum, 225 W. Second Street, Davenport, IA. June 29-October 21, 2019.


Inspired by Ere lbeji figures––Yoruba sculptures created to honor the spirit of a deceased twin––the exhibition features works by Kara Walker, Elizabeth Catlett, Alma Thomas, Jordan Weber, American Artist, and the Yoruba peoples. The artwork collected in this exhibition sheds light on the path we have taken to get to the present moment and suggests, at each turn, a parallel––or twin––story to the widely accepted narrative.


A newly commissioned work by American Artist re-imagines contemporary technology with black consumers in mind, while Alma Thomas' work reminds us of black women's participation in abstract art movements. The works by Kara Walker and Elizabeth Catlett illuminate lineages of invisible care-taking and emphasize interdependence over independence, while Jordan Weber's meditation cushions create a reflective moment in which to contemplate the role of air pollutants in our nation's history. Finally, the two pairs of Yoruba Ere ibeji sculptures suggest that the living and the dead may be more intertwined than meets the eye.

The Lovers Are the Audience Who Watch is a video-poem borrowing its title from a line of poetry by Juliana Huxtable. The sequence is constructed from found footage - largely from music videos and art documentaries - where there is a central figure - the artist - being watched by an audience. Parts of the video have been shown at Mathew Gallery in New York and at the Prelude to the 13th Baltic Triennial at the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Studio Art Grime Destroy (a.k.a. Studio AGD) was formed in 2022. The studio consists of Anaïs Duplan and his co-creator/studio manager, Folasade Adesanya.Anaïs dreamt of a group structure that both employs artists––in this case as studio managers––and that allows for collaboration and the growth of his employees in their personal artistic pursuits. We are not an artist collective due to the employer/employee relationship, yet this structure provides benefits outside of traditional work as a studio manager, like opportunities for co-ideation and creative partnership, as well as access to resources that would otherwise be inaccessible. Anaïs’ vision for Studio AGD continues to evolve as they work with Folasade on determining how a studio practice of this sort can enhance and inspire their own practices.
Studio AGD shares an intention to move to the rhythm of resonance. We value the slowness of discernment in our collective ideating, decision-making, and creative execution. Our studio structure operates flexibly, making space for the unique skills, perspectives, offerings that each member contributes to our collective eureka. Our approach to collaboration aims to utilize our independent strengths to establish creative grammars together while encouraging collective growth. The multi-genre and trans-disciplinary nature of our collective work creates routines that support the cultivation of experimental creative practice.


	folasade adesanya is a studio manager at Studio AGD and a blooming neuro/quirky queer agender writer, curator, and independent scholar. Their work is deeply aligned with their spiritual practice, with projects that source from queer Afro-diasporic archives, oral histories, and inherited knowledge. Their current projects include intuitive prose poetry; speculative non/fiction that pieces together Black QTGNC care communities in pre-Civil Rights eras; and unspooling the stories of her lineage. She has been published in MN Women’s Press, and is currently editing her first zine titled sacred is the place you touch, to be published in early 2024.
Folasade founded The Black Syllabus in 2019. They are also an emerging flower farmer and beekeeper hoping to grow toward homesteading in the near future. She was born and raised in the Bay Area, currently rooted in the Twin Cities with her cat Parsley.
