She received her BFA in Photography and Related Media at The Fashion Institute of Technology. She is redefining traditional family structures through contemporary community kinship\, particularly amongst queer youth and the sisterhood of marginalized women and girls. Through her early work with local youth organizations throughout the five boroughs\, she’s incorporated image-making to envision a world of inclusion and power.  \nAbout Donnette and Kimberly Williams \nDonnette A. Williams has lived a life in service to her community through her practice of the arts\, which started at the age of four. As a holistic and inclusive occupational therapy professional\, she has been able to combine both passions to curate diasporic galleries and cultural forums for the whole person via platforms of dance\, culinary demonstrations\, book clubs\, and more. She has also served for nearly twenty years in her church’s Black History Ministry\, of which she is currently the Co-Director. \nKimberly Denise Williams believes that every community deserves the information and resources needed to make the best decisions\, and this has been a guiding mission in both her professional and vocational activities. A native Brooklynite\, she has worked to amplify her community and has been featured in national publications like Vibe and local Brooklyn outlets like Voices of Lefferts\, where she currently volunteers on the oral history project. Kimberly also serves on the advisory board of Little Caribbean. She can be found chasing whimsy\, grace\, and justice when she is not running around Prospect Park. \nThis event is two of three in our month-long dedication to the luminaries who transitioned this past year\, including Faith Ringgold\, Lorraine O’Grady\, and Judith Jamison. In the face of our present reality\, we understand that the work they have left behind continues to nourish our imaginations and shape our collective consciousness. Their transitions remind us that legacy is a living force. We hope you join us this month in communion. \n \n\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://parentguidenews.com/event/through-fabric-frame-faith-ringgold-lorraine-ogrady-and-the-black-feminist-gaze/ CATEGORIES:Local History ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://parentguidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Through-Fabric-and-Frame-Website_750x500_A-1-69jYf5tmp_.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250424T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250425T000000 DTSTAMP:20260628T152653 CREATED:20250421T092027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250421T092027Z UID:10026779-1745524800-1745539200@parentguidenews.com SUMMARY:Session 4 DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\nOn April 24th\, Summer School Radios’s deep listening session returns for its fourth installment at Weeksville Heritage Center.  \nsessions turns our performance space to an experiential room for sound\, featuring curated music and live performance tailored for deep listening\, contemplation\, grooving\, and feeling.  \nsessions (4) opens at 5 pm with a meditative sound bath led by Kia Islam\, offering a moment of grounding before our deep listening begins.

Through this approach\, [IF…] traces\, recreates\, and reactivates fragmented artifacts for future use. \nThis performance blends sculpture\, sound\, and visual media to reimagine the Black Archive and open new pathways for understanding history. \nOtitigbe is joined by collaborators Zane Rodulfo and Dakota Ray. Rodulfo composed an original soundscape using interviews from the Weeksville Lost Jazz Shrines of Brooklyn\, a project developed by Weeksville’s former research team that highlights Central Brooklyn’s jazz legacy. Ray contributes visual projections that combine vintage cartoons\, blaxploitation films\, and images from the Golden Legacy illustrated history series\, creating a layered and visually striking atmosphere. \nFeatured Artists and Collaborators \nEto Otitigbe is a polymedia artist whose interdisciplinary practice spans sculpture\, public art\, performance\, installation\, and community engagement. His public works include installations at Socrates Sculpture Park and Randall’s Island Park\, as well as a key role on the design team for the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at UVA. Recent projects include Peaceful Journey (Mt. Vernon\, NY)\, a permanent tribute to Heavy D\, and Invasive Species (Philadelphia\, PA)\, a mixed reality work exploring plant life and migration. \nOtitigbe has received fellowships and awards from the National Arts Club\, CEC Artslink\, and the Smithsonian\, where he researched Urhobo language and African material culture. He is an Associate Professor of Sculpture at Brooklyn College and holds degrees from MIT\, Stanford\, and the University of Plymouth. He is also the founder of eo Studio\, a 2023 Creative Capital Awardee focused on community-driven public art \nZane Rodulfo is a Trinidadian drummer and composer based in New York City. Trained in both Jazz Performance and Ethnomusicology at Oberlin Conservatory\, he holds a graduate degree in Jazz Studies from NYU.

His piece Around the Circle was featured in the Guggenheim’s Vasily Kandinsky exhibition (2021–2022) alongside his sound sculpture Abandoned Orchestra. Dakota Ray is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist who learned very early that she could use art as a way of connection and expression. Through the use of comic art\, sculpture\, digital art\, and drawing\, many of her works center around evoking feelings of nostalgia\, particularly around food. Dakota earned an A.A.S. (Honors) in Art Foundations-Studio Art with a concentration in Sculpture from CUNY BMCC in Spring 2023 and is currently a Senior at CUNY Brooklyn College\, on track to receive a BA in Art\, with a minor in Theater Production in May 2025.
