 Immerse yourself in an afternoon of artistic inspiration, fine wine, and good vibes hosted by The Communion Wine & Spirits. Explore the art exhibition "Textured Rebellion" by Katarra Peterson.

Textured hair is a pivotal aspect of the Black experience, often stirring feelings of both shame and pride. Katarra Peterson reimagines Kanekalon hair, elevating it from synthetic material to a profound expression of beauty and purpose. 

This exhibition showcases textured hair in various forms—flowing, bound, adorned—inviting exploration of its complexity and significance as an extension of identity. How has textured hair shaped your experience and conversations in your community?

Katarra Peterson, known for her powerful mixed media compositions, hails from Vallejo, California, and is now based in the Bronx, NY. She earned a BS with honors in Studio Art from Skidmore College and completed her MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. Her abstract landscapes explore how land is shaped by its history. Kanekalon emphasizes materiality, acting as both a dimensional brushstroke and a symbol of Black femme experience. Her passion for light and color, combined with hand-stitching, glitter, and relaxed installations, creates an effect that is illuminated, approachable, playful, and transcendent.

Join us to meet the talented artist Katarra, explore her artwork, and connect with fellow art enthusiasts and wine lovers. We will have a selection of our new Fall and Winter inventory of wines open for tasting. 🎨🍷🍂
