Destiny Belgrave
birthright
March 6 - April 11, 2021

“I am a collection of memories, synapses, skin and tissue”

Deanna Evans Projects is pleased to present birthright, a solo exhibition of works by Destiny Belgrave. Within this exhibition the theme of matriarchal heritage is embraced within florals, papercut portraits, and accompanying poetry. Along with exploring maternity there are other underlying themes of youth, birth, and bonding that are intricately displayed. The viewer is bought into a reflective space where they can interact with these elements and connect.

Destiny Belgrave (b.1996) was born and raised in Brooklyn NY and nurtured, with a Bajan and African American upbringing. Belgrave graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2018 with a BFA in General Fine Arts, and a concentration in Painting. Since then her work has been shown locally and internationally. Currently she is an A.I.R Gallery Fellow and a resident of the BRIClab: Contemporary Art Residency. Belgrave is a mixed media whirlwind, almost always using papercuts as her primary medium and family as a source of inspiration.
