Yolonda “Yogi Dada” Carter’s artistry is limited only by her imagination.
Carter has produced a work she’s named GRAFFICA which is set to premiere on February 12 as part of ArtWorks@TheDJD, a new cutting-edge digital performance series that will feature short-form multi-media content by local artists presented online to virtual audiences across Alabama and beyond.
The series itself begins January 29. “To be a part of the series is a blessing and the DJD team has been stellar,” she said, referring to the Dorothy Jemison Day Theater at the Alabama School of Fine Arts.
Yogi Dada describes GRAFFICA as a type of gumbo for the soul, blending her artwork with poetry, music, rap, dance and storytelling.
