Joy Is My Weapon | Flahn Manly

NE Sculpture presents a solo exhibition of their artist-in-residence Flahn Manly

Flahn Manly is the Artist-in-Residence & Fellow @ NE SCULPTURE I Gallery Factory for December 2024, January & part of February 2025. Congratulations Flahn!!! The Fellowship/Residency, awarded annually by NE SCULPTURE, is for exploring, testing, problem-solving, discovering and creating. The Fellowship/Artist-in-Residence is a process rather than an outcome, for experimenting.

Flahn has recently also been part of the Social Justice Billboard Program during September thru December 2024 with his work “Fire!! / LIBERATE”.

This work is a declaration of liberation and resistance, a visual statement that sets fire to the remnants of systematic oppression. Through this piece, Flahn challenges the dominance of Western thought and dismantle colonial ideologies that have sought to suppress Black identity.

Flahn Manly (b. 1988, Monrovia, Liberia) is a Liberian native whose work focuses on freedom, hope, and social transformation. He creates works that reflect his life’s journey and spirit of his soul.

Opening Reception: Saturday February 1st, 5 - 10pm - "Food, music, art, vibes"
Gallery hours: February 5th - 8th, 12-5pm or by appointment (map below).
