DESCRIPTION:Informed by Black feminism\, queer theory of colour\, and Afro
 futurist theory\, Wynn will present a new series of artwork exploring the 
 myth of Drexciya\, a mythology created by a late 1990s Detroit band of the
  same name\, who envisioned a half-aquatic\, half-human creature emerging 
 from the enslaved Africans who were tossed overboard during the Middle Pas
 sage. Of this new series of artwork\, they envision creating a new narrati
 ve in the mid-Atlantic\, disrupting the current archive of the Middle Pass
 age.
