In honor of Black History Month, Brooklyn Park’s Chesapeake Arts Center unveiled its new exhibition Creative Freedom: Celebrating Black History Month, showcasing the work of Black artists in Maryland whose specialties span from visual art to music, activism, performance, and more.

Today, we’re going In the Studio with artists Hope and Faith (Tonisha Hope and Eleisha Faith McCorkle). Their artwork is on display in the Chesapeake Arts Center’s Creative Freedom: Celebrating Black History Month gallery exhibit, on view from January 29 - March 3, 2024.

Step into the mesmerizing world of Hope and Faith, the dynamic twin artists whose creative bond knows no bounds. Join us as we uncover the magic behind their interdisciplinary collaboration in an exclusive interview on "The Truth in This Art" podcast.

Baltimore-based twins Eleisha Faith McCorkle and Tonisha Hope McCorkle create work together that speaks to the candid, yet uncanny truth of black life, while simultaneously severing from a cyclical narrative deeply rooted in pain and disenfranchisement.

The title of the D.C. Arts Center’s six-person show is “A Shared Sense of Time,” but the artworks plot individual chronologies.

Our mission is to spread love and heal, creating from the soul and putting a visual experience to ideas and visions of ourselves and the world. We create larger than life scrolls that tell stories of black life, rituals, magic, and rebuilding after breaking down. We are a force of nature.

If you’ve been to The Phillips Collection since mid-July, you’ve likely seen Inside Outside, Upside Down … But you may not have seen its underground counterpart: Salon of the Refused DC, which is showcasing work submitted to and rejected from the Phillips exhibit.

The color red has an extensive cultural history—often associated with feelings of pain, desire, “woman”hood, love, lust, anger, violence, to name a few. This show recognizes all the color’s working definitions and invites viewers to consider it in all its complexity.

The color red has long embodied a paradoxical tension. It motivates yet cautions, loves yet rages and—all too often—marks both the giving of life and its mortal end. Despite its ubiquity red is, however, uniquely defined by its context. In this group exhibition, twelve artists working across mediums share their distinct interpretations and applications of the color.

Tonya told her girls to never stop telling their story – they’re going to do that at NYU as they pursue their dreams in art.
