She Shall Rise From The Ashes - Reception
She Shall Rise From The Ashes
Is a collaborative exhibition that takes viewers on a journey through the past, present, and future history of Detroit from a woman’s perspective. All four rooms of detroit contemporary’s gallery have been transformed by a pair of female visual & literary artists gracing the space with new narratives on old truths. Together they have created works of art that address generations of women that have and will continue to maintain their strength, resilience, and femininity in the face of the city’s gender, racial, and class disparities. Like the phoenix, she hopes for better things; she will rise from the ashes.
Participating Artists Include:
Desawna “SIS” Buford, Halima Afi Cassells, jessica Care moore, Marsha Music, Maya Wynn Boyd, Melba Joyce Boyd, Sabrina Nelson, & Sudani Shaah

Diana Alva - Celebration of Life
“Diana Alva was a force to be reckoned with. She was the epitome of strength who grabbed life by the horns and only grew stronger with every battle she had to overcome. Art was the defining factor of her life. She poured her heart and soul into her artwork. She was a multifaceted artist who worked with clay, paint, music, pencil, and everything in between. She made waves in the artist community of Detroit and was a proud Latina business owner. Diana Alva met so many people during her trials and tribulations of life. We invite everyone who loved Diana to join us in celebrating her love for life, art, and one another.
We will gather for a celebration of life on April 6th from 1:00-3:00 pm where we will tell stories, eat good food, and laugh, just as Diana would have wanted.”
-Lillian Settles, Diana’s granddaughter

‘SeaStories: Part 3’ is a new performance art piece created by the minds of SATORI CIRCUS, Brian Dambacher and Tim Suliman. It follows the mysterious, happy-go-lucky, and sometimes aloof life of a good-natured man. A man who just so happens to enjoy wearing white make-up with black facial markings, and has a love for dental floss.
One day, while on his way to a drugstore for more floss, he is mistaken for your average everyday ‘clown’; kidnapped by two thuggish gentlemen, he is stowed away on a freighter where his life is about to take a dramatic turn. The voyage ends in bad favor, as the ship sinks, sending all souls aboard to Davy Jones’ locker…all save one.
Floating atop his only remaining possession, he finds himself cold, scared, and in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle - headed toward a mysterious uncharted island. Bewildered, alone, with no contact to the outside world, he’s left to his own devices to survive on the uninhabited land.
