SUMMARY:Desert Altars: A Iyawó’s Journey of Softness\, Surrender & Spirit.
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of her first solo exhibition with Clark County Public Arts in 2024\, Afro-Indigenous multidisciplinary artist Christina Monique Flores-Escobar\, known professionally as Psychedelicchola\, will debut her second solo exhibition\, Desert Altars: A Iyawó’s Journey of Softness\, Surrender & Spirit. \nCreated over the course of her iyaworaje\, the sacred year following initiation in the Lucumí tradition\, Desert Altars is\, to the best of the artist’s knowledge\, the first Nevada-based solo body of work dedicated entirely to an artist’s iyaworaje. Through contemporary painting\, the exhibition documents a year of spiritual transformation\, healing\, ancestral connection\, and self-discovery. \nThe collection also intentionally centers larger-bodied Black and Brown women as sacred subjects. In a visual culture where larger-bodied women\, particularly women of color\, are rarely depicted as divine or spiritually powerful\, Desert Altars reimagines the body as an altar\, challenging conventional narratives surrounding beauty\, worthiness\, and spirituality. \nRooted in the Mojave Desert\, the exhibition brings together painting\, storytelling\, and personal testimony to create an immersive experience that expands conversations around identity\, contemporary spirituality\, representation\, and the evolving landscape of Nevada’s visual arts community. \nWith Desert Altars\, Psychedelicchola continues to position Nevada as a place where innovative contemporary art can emerge from deeply personal narratives while contributing new perspectives to the state’s cultural landscape. Attendees can register by scanning the QR code on the flyer or by visiting the link on her Instagram.
