Soho D & H Gallery

Tuesday July 1, 7 - 9pm 

Curator Rene Abdo describes her theory behind the exhibit as bringing the 
Dreams of New York back to color through this show. Artists are forced 
to Compromise their lives daily and are boxed into professions that 
are do not relate to their craft; talking with One9 and Pamella will 
uncover the how they are able to live their dream and translate it 
through their art. The relationship between visual art and music will 
also be explored as both artist currently have pieces from the show 
featured in music videos. The composition of the show will also be 
explored through a narrative from the Curator. 

Here is a quote from musician Talib Kweli about Pamella Allen's Work: 

"Ms. Allen really came through with something evocative, expressing 
the themes we were trying to illuminate with Jean Grae's new video for 
her song "My Story", and did so in a subtle yet poignant way that 
captured the essence of hope amidst the painful, controversial subject 
matter of pregnancy termination. We were really pleased with the 
collaboration, as it added greatly to the overall product."
