Hello and welcome to Travel + Explore + Play with Sallee Jay where I am your host. Today we are headed to The Metropolitan Museum of Art affectionately known as “The Met” in New York to view the exhibition “Japan: A History of Style.”
“Journey to Liberation,” a series of three arched church windows are a reflection of Narkita’s personal spiritual path from internalized and external oppression to finding liberation through art. Always a gracious and humble spirit, the artist shared time with me and explained her message and insights on her newest work inspired by the Japanese art form and philosophy called Kintsugi and what’s next!
Be sure to check out “Journey to Liberation” featured at Platte Forum from March 11 through March 25 and “Black in Denver” featured at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver from February 26 through August 22, the Colorado Photographic Art Center from February 19 through April 17.

Enjoy chapter 39 in pictures. The theme release, rebuild, repurpose and reconnect!

Read MoreMy mom is a very thoughtful woman. I remember when I was 17 and on an international trip for two weeks to Australia and New Zealand my mother made sure I was greeted with messages from her at each new hotel stop. Mind you this is the pre email era, right at the beginning of the explosion 💥 of the internet. So she called each hotel and left messages with the desk for me to receive upon arrival. As the only black kid on the trip, who was designated as the group “Aborigine,” (Native tribal people of the Australian bush) knowing that I was loved that far away made me feel special and gave me what I needed to not let social and economic factors ruin a trip of a lifetime.
