The Bottom: Exhibition Reception: Maame Nsuroma: Afro-futurism as Afro-Abundance

Category: Exhibitions, visual art and Meetup

Featuring works by local youth artist Lavender Maynard, along with North Carolina creatives S. Ama Kwabia and Nina Alex Scott, this exhibition explores girlhood, womanhood, celestial realms & cultural abundance.

Through expressive representations of the cosmos, vivid portraits, and mixed-media approaches, these works delve into the limitless possibilities of Afrofuturism viewed through a feminine lens—reclaiming the power of Black women as cosmic architects, visionaries, and creators of new worlds. RSVP online.

The Bottom: Author Talk with Meka James & Karmen Lee

Category: Literature, spoken word, writing and Meetup

Meka James is a born and raised Georgia Peach, she still resides in the southern state with her hubby of 20 years and counting. When not writing or reading, Meka can be found playing The Sims 3, sometimes Sims 4, and making up fun stories to go with the pixelated people whose world she controls.

Karmen Lee is a lifelong Southerner living it up in Atlanta, Georgia, with her kid, her cats and humidity. When not packing lunches or working her nine-to-five, she can be found drinking coffee too late at night, watching House Hunters International and dreaming up ways to show her readers a good time.
