Originally from Chicago, Harlan Ballogg moved to New York in 2013 to study Illustration at the School of Visual Arts. After obtaining a BFA degree, Harlan remained in New York to begin developing a body of paintings. His work often depicts portraits of people of color and those who have been marginalized by general society. The portraits serve as a direct response to art history’s habit of whitewashed portraiture.

Hair Did is a durational performance art piece by Wi-Moto Nyoka that explores the matriarchal tradition of hair braiding within the African Diaspora. The piece currently operates on three levels:
1) Audio- a crowdsourced audio composition of women telling the story of the first time they got their hair braided.
2) Visual- a textile creation comprised of gauze as a metaphor for healing.
3)Performance- actual hair twisting.
The performance is over when my hair is 'did'.
Hair Did has been presented at the 5th Annual Black Artstory Month, The Altar: Rituals of Healing In The African Diaspora.
