My College Experiences

My college experiences were diverse. I had the opportunity to exhibit my artwork in New York City in 1993 at The New Harlem Gallery (New York City, New York) and Wisteria ArtSpace (New York City, New York). I was 16 years old at that time. Additionally, I participated in the Congressional Art Competition in 1993. I was exposed to a diverse set of people with different backgrounds and sexual orientations from 1993 - 1997. I had the opportunity to met Ms. Lois Jones when I was a college student and exhibit my artwork in several exhibitions from 1996 - 1997. Among them include: "Evolution of Historical Symbolisms." Corcoran Gallery of the Art, Hemicycle, Washington, DC. 1997; and "All Senior Summer Show." Corcoran School of the Art, White Walls Gallery, Washington, DC. 1997-1996. Each of these experiences allowed me to produce a different set of artwork and develop a wide range of skills.

Blooming Loyalty

Blooming Loyalty. Digital art created on canvas. November 27, 2024. Afrika Abney My choice will always be to be loyal and show dedication. Despite how people have treated me, I will always do the right thing because I know how it feels to be pushed aside, isolated, discriminated against and treated as if your words do not matter. I also know from first hand experiences what it means to lose loved ones and much more, but no one bothered to ask me any questions when I was a student, so now you are wondering why I make certain choices. Well, that is none of your business unless you are willing to sweep me off of my feet and show real support. From picnics in parks to providing services, I have watched my hometown and community change. I selected the colors red, brown and green to create this piece.

Identity Roots. Digital art created on canvas. September 25, 2024. Afrika Abney “The Hesp region of Washington, D.C., has been a vital support system for the African community since its establishment in 1975, operating under the leadership of the Paramount King, Ur Aua Hehi Metu Ra Enkamit. This organization has played a significant role in fostering cultural identity and community cohesion, providing various resources and programs aimed at uplifting and empowering individuals within the African diaspora.

After a period away, I returned to engage with the society again from 1995 to 1998, further deepening my connection to its mission and valu...
