On November 15, Malika Sqalli, the Austrian Moroccan photographer behind Latitude 34 currently on exhibit in whitespec, returned to Atlanta for her artist’s talk. She spoke about how growing up in Rabat, Morocco near the ocean, she would always fantasize about the cities and people facing her on the other side of the Atlantic. At age 34, she found herself in a café in Santa Monica, California on the other side of that ocean curious Continue reading

Please join us Friday, October 19th for the opening of reception of Letting Go by Suellen Parker, her first solo exhibition in Atlanta. The show investigates how an individual can find his or her own voice despite the ideals and gender roles foisted on us by society. Parker’s characters look within themselves to find out who they are, letting go of cultural standards and expectations. Instead of limiting themselves to prescribed genders, Suellen Parker’s characters open up to a more authentic expression of self by exploring aspects of both masculine and feminine attributes. This exploration allows for freedom of expression, creativity and individuality. By engaging in private play, they are able to let go of expectations and rules. The result is a personal and truthful moment that they enjoy without fear of judgment or consequences.
Suellen Parker has shown her work all over the world. Her photo illustrations have been featured in several notable publications, including Discover Magazine, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and on the cover of The New York Times Magazine. Her can be seen in the permanent collections of Sir Elton John, Musée de l’Elysée in Switzerland, Tel Aviv Museum in Israel and the Savannah College of Art and Design in Lacoste, France.
