.- As I mature as an artist, and as a human being on this planet, I realize that everything I do is actually just one thing, says Nikesha Breeze. In my art, which is my life, I want to touch the world, as I am touched. Wound touching wound. This transcendent notion informs every aspect of the Taos artists sweeping exhibition Four Sites of Return: Ritual | Remembrance | Reparation | Reclamation. Breezes multifaceted magnum opus distills decades of their creative output, and crystallizes deep truths of the Black experience through visual art and ritual performance. Its appearance at form & concept initiates an exhibition series that will sweep the state and the nation. For Breeze, Four Sites of Return also represents a mantle passed from their own ancestors in Blackdom, New Mexico, a turn of the century freedom colony with a remarkable American story.
