Tasanee Durrett: Sacred Vessels: Healing and Memory in the Black Diaspora

September 4–December 13, 2026

Orlando-based multidisciplinary artist Tasanee Durrett presents this exhibition examining the intersection of healing and identity within the Black Diaspora. Drawing from her architectural background, Durrett creates abstract figurative works that blend human forms with botanical elements, crafting a visual language that connects ancestral wisdom with psychological restoration.

Her mixed-media works investigate how environmental knowledge intertwines with mental wellness and cultural identity, focusing on the neck and head as sacred vessels of memory.

Through techniques of pointillism and one-line painting, vibrant flora and architectural elements serve as symbols of resilience, while intricate linework bridges the built environment, natural world, and human consciousness. Each piece advocates for a return to ancestral knowledge as a pathway to contemporary healing.

This vibrant exhibition showcases over 400 young artists, ages 4–17, who participate in Crealdé’s Summer ArtCamp.

Individual and collaborative works in ceramics, sculpture, painting, photography, and mixed media reflect the energy of Crealdé’s creative studios and lakeside campus. ArtCamp has nurtured young talent since 1982 and invites the community to celebrate imagination, joy, and discovery.
