| Wainscott – Tripoli Gallery is excited to present The Synchronicity Talisman: An Ancient Future Amulet Feast, an exhibition of new paintings. Opening with a reception for the artist on Friday, July 3rd, from 7 – 9pm, the exhibition will remain on view until August 3rd.
The Synchronicity Talisman: An Ancient Future Amulet Feast is an Afrofuturist vision that bridges ancestral memory, mythological consciousness, and speculative futures. Inspired by the cosmologies and traditions, the mythic archetypes found across the ancient world, this work imagines time as circular rather than linear, where ancestors, descendants, and living communities commune through symbols, technology, and spirit. The talisman serves as a sacred vessel of remembrance and transformation, while the amulet feast becomes a ritual gathering of knowledge, resilience, and collective renewal. |

| Drawing upon core principles of Afrofuturism, the project reclaims Black identity within narratives of science, innovation, and cosmic destiny. It honors the wisdom encoded in oral traditions, celestial observation, sacred geometry, and mythic journeys while envisioning liberated futures beyond colonial limitations. Through synchronicity, imagination, and cultural memory, this creation celebrates Black existence as both ancient and futuristic, earthly and transcendent, rooted and infinite. |
