On Friday, June 11th, Thinkspace will open Ekundayo’s “Joy Today, Jeopardy Tomorrow,” an exhibition from the artist “about the beautiful struggle we all face of reaching for our dreams, in hopes of guiding our own destiny, weather we succeed or fail, as long as it’s on our own terms.”

Here’s some more information:
A great deal of inspiration for this new body of work has come from the life of Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr., an African nationalist who during the 1920′s had a vision to bring his people from all over the world to a higher level of conciseness in regards to where they come from and how they provided for themselves. Although Garvey failed in his ultimate goal of having a fleet of steamships fairing people from all over the world to Africa in-order to connect them to their origins, he left a legacy behind that continues to inspire countless others.
