Jozie Bullard’s “Elemental Oasis” is a manifestation of queer imagination and communal liberation through the healing power of art. My work for this exhibit will explore the boundless pathways between realms where reality and fantasy meet and implode into an abstract surrealist expression of queerness, ecology, and the universal connection to all things. This immersive exhibit is designed to teleport my audience into a tranquil yet energetic environment abundant with Afro-Indigenous futuristic paintings, sculpture art, interactive meditation installations, and calming soundscapes.
As a community based artist I deeply value collaboration and resource sharing as a liberatory tool to grow and incubate collective visions centered in transformation and based on our unique needs for healing. For this exhibition I’ll be partnering with several local artists to combine our skill sets and craftsmanship to create unique additions to the exhibit with the intention of adding layers and depth to further expand the immersive experience and display the richness that radiates when multiple imaginations combine.
The reception will take place on Saturday, July 13th from 6pm-10pm
