Since Otis Quaicoe’s move from Accra, Ghana, to Portland in 2017, his figural paintings have adjusted and shifted in congruence with a heightened cultural awareness of his relocated body. As he looked at Blackness and race in American society from the perspective of an African immigrant, Quaicoe became more interested in depicting the nuances of skin tone that emerge in velvety grayscale.

Quaicoe’s portraits do not just invoke identity of the painful bonds tying two continents together, but they simultaneously break down these layers of history and draw us into a more intimate conversation that transcends nationalities and brightens the discourse of the African diaspora experience.

The event will include showings of The Woman King a film about strong, black female warriors which was chosen to honor the legacy of a strong, black female warrior for the Black community in Spokane — Sandy Williams. The event will also include an accompanying silent auction with a plethora of wonderful items which will be available for viewing prior to the December 1st auction on the Carl Maxey Center Facebook page. Proceeds of the event will go to benefit the Carl Maxey Center of Spokane.

ADDITIONAL SHOWS OF THE WOMAN KING WILL SCREEN DEC. 2-8 WITH PROCEEDS GOING TO THE CARL MAXEY CENTER.
