Shattered Innocence: The Weight of the East Painting
This piece is close to my heart because it symbolizes the challenges faced, by not only women, but also children in the eastern area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). I wanted this piece to kind of help with awareness when it comes to what is happening there, where conflicts, displacement, and hardship with heavily on the events of innocence and hope for people.

Extravagance and Wisdom
This illustration represents the duality of beauty and silence in the lives of African women. The artwork features a striking figure of an African lady adorned in fashionable attire that symbolizes external beauty and societal expectations. Her expression is contemplative, reflecting the wisdom gained from listening to the world around her. And yet, her mouth is shut and her eyes are missing! We listen, we do not see, we stay quiet and pretty! Beauty should be inside and out. We should be able to express ourselves freely without the decorum. Is it right? Is it wrong? or is it wise?

"Students' Small Business Market Spring Semester" by Abigail Berry
Another vendor I talked to was Johanna Lumbu Bahati, a first-year graduate student and a Congolese artist. There were canvases, stickers, a coloring book, and a QR code for commissions. She is on Instagram @miss_lmb_fangirl. When asked to describe her art she said, “I would say it’s a mixture of my cultural heritage and just like self-expression. But also, I want to make art that’s kind of like, is pretty.”
