Featuring Crealdé faculty, fellows, studio artists, and scholarship recipients, as well as UCF Jenkins Scholars and storytellers from across Central Florida, the show amplifies underrepresented voices and reflects the nation’s diverse creative landscape. A collaborative community ceramic mosaic will serve as a lasting symbol of unity and inclusion.

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

Location: Hannibal Square Heritage Center Gallery
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.
