FLATS

Join us for Rhonda’s Baby, a visual prayer by artist Bria Lauren, opening Friday, June 19th from 6–9pm at FLATS.

Through portraiture, arts activism, storytelling, multimedia installation, and community programming, Bria Lauren centers Black women’s interior lives, ancestral memory, Black mother-daughter relationships, and the dimensions of Black women’s relationships with one another while building infrastructures of radical care and liberation around their livelihoods and futures.

“Rhonda’s Baby is dedicated to Black daughters, loving and healing from Black mamas that don’t know how to love them back.” - Bria

Bria Lauren is a transdisciplinary visual artist, community architect, and Third Ward, Houston native. She is also the founder of Gold Was Made Fa’ Her (GWMFH) , a 501(c)(3) arts and healing movement for Black women and communities across the Black South.
