An Experimental, Multimedia Summer Exhibition at DVCAI at Barry featuring art by L.A. Samuelson & Amanda Bradley
About this Event

Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator, Inc. invites audiences to experience DVCAI at Barry's experimental, multimedia summer exhibition, Across ebb and flow, during a four-month run that explores the terrain between belonging and transformation.


Across ebb and flow is a two-person exhibition featuring installations by artists L.A. Samuelson, an interdisciplinary choreographer working in performance, sculpture, and new media, and Amanda Bradley, a Belizean American artist, photographer, and curator. Both artists present works that are adaptive to site and transform with each iteration of presentation. Within each body of work, the artists deconstruct notions of ownership, division, and permanence, seeking a more expansive relationship to change, connection, and loss.


Samuelson’s work, Telegraph Valley assembles house frames, ladders, floating decks, mattresses, rotating light sources, and one dancer to make momentary dwellings out of holes and passageways. The work looks for the ways we find home in bodies that experience more loss as they accumulate more life. It attempts to deconstruct the body as a “house for the soul” metaphor to uncover something that roves, collides, undercuts, and transforms what we understand ourselves to be, how we merge with others, and merge with our own solitude, to get somewhere new.


For Bradley, photography is a language that bridges the seen, felt, and spoken. Her photographic work is interested in how landscape can function as a visual threshold that triggers memory, imagination, and a sense of belonging. The sea acts as a well of memory, and water becomes a meeting place and a place of possibility. Pairing the photographic installation with a poem that reveals itself as one walks along the seas, the work invites viewers as active participants and embeds a journey into the performance of the visual narrative.


The title of the exhibition refers to the artists’ explorations in moving across in-between states and places as a means to build a language around what it means to belong and to be. The exhibition spans installation, photographic, poetic, and performative practices–building a world within the ebb and flow of disciplines and forms.


Exhibition continues through September 30, 2025
