About ARTiculate ATL 2024 at Atlanta Contemporary

ARTiculate ATL has been presenting emerging artists in the Atlanta area for over a decade and supporting their careers at pivotal stages. Since the beginning, ARTiculate ATL has developed opportunities that highlight a mix of visual art, music, community, and the ascendant creative voices that define Atlanta’s current cultural momentum. Atlanta Contemporary collaborated with ARTiculate ATL to present three artists- -who have a history of community driven-work and are currently expanding their respective practices to include new experimentation with materiality, history, and space.

About Sohé Solutions

Sohé Solutions imagines and executes events and exhibits that promote and support the creative community. Our co-founded annual art summer social, ARTiculate ATL, in ten years has featured over 200 local artists with over $300K generated in sales. We are equally proud of our curation of New Georgia Project’s politically themed exhibit Politi-Art featuring women of color artists as well as the Many Rivers to Cross Music and Arts Festival dedicated to racial and social justice. Our goal for our curated experiences is to continue to amplify the voices of emerging artists and include them in rooms that they may usually be excluded from.

This event is free, but registration is encouraged.

Parking is free in the lot at Bankhead & Means Street. You can access the lot via Bankhead Avenue and proceed past the parking attendant booth

Bios

Jamie Lee Harris

Jamie Lee Harris is an African American artist from Notasulga, Alabama who received her BA in art from Alabama State University, a historical black university located in the heart of Montgomery, Alabama.

Jamaal Barber

Jamaal Barber is a creative, imaginative soul born in Virginia and raised in North Carolina. In 2013, after seeing a screen printing demo at a local art store, Jamaal started experimenting with printmaking, making it his primary focus.

Marryam Moma

Tanzanian-Nigerian collage artist Marryam Moma intricately reconstructs repurposed archival paper and mixed media, to create vibrant narratives, delving into the complexities of the Black experience. She highlights Black bodies, their strength and joy, while challenging societal perceptions. Moma’s work is a masterful tapestry of multidimensional stories. Her collages grace international corporate collections like Microsoft, Google, and Starbucks. Her global impact extends to TV programs and prestigious magazines. Recently, one will find several of Moma’s analog collages in award-winning New Brownies Book, non-fiction, 2024. Departing from formal architecture, inspired by the mundane and extraordinary, Marryam Moma creates layered analog collages from apparently disparate elements that uplift and empower. Moma has exhibited in the US and abroad, creating works that foster understanding and inclusion.
