“As individuals committed to artfully living, we can paint refreshing possibilities that are not just for ourselves but also for others. Assemble your tools: Listen, look within, embrace the weird, and take the prism and flip it on its head — you’ll likely find a breathtaking blend of opportunities to make a difference."⁠

DJ Jim Q’s Playlist: Spectrum.

“When I think of spectrum I think of ambiguity or fluidity. Visions of vivid rainbows or oscillating audio frequency spectrograms come to mind. Ranges rather than specifics, this tends towards the unwieldy and inexact.”

Yvonne Osei is a Ghanaian conceptual artist, fashion designer, and art educator living between St. Louis, MO and Philadelphia, PA. Her international creative practice explores the topics of beauty, colorism and the residual implications of colonialism in postcolonial West Africa and Western cultures. Osei also uses textiles and clothing as artistic mediums to foreground global socio-political
issues. Her work also invests in scrutinizing the language and commodification of history, including how the past is recorded, studied and collectively remembered as a weapon of cultural erasure and a catalyst for establishing legitimacy. Osei received her M.F.A. from Washington University in St. Louis, where she was a Chancellors Graduate Fellow, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer T. Olin Fellow, and Danforth Scholar. She received her B.F.A. from Webster University and holds an MA in Fashion Design and Business from Lindenwood University. As a visiting artist scholar, Osei has been invited to Pentecost University in Accra, Ghana, Missouri Institute of Mental Health, Sterling College in Kansas, Indiana University Bloomington, TEDxStLouis and more.
