eume, short for eumelanin was the third installment of an interactive exhibition trilogy forthe Overtown Music and Arts Festival.
eume celebrated brown and black skin tones, allowing festival-goers to draw themselves into their city's fabric.
The piece was constructed from two 6x6' hexagons and three 5' pentagons. An aerial view of the exhibition mimicked the composition of eumelanin, the specific melanin that creates brown and black skin tones.

Colored Town, was an interactive exhibition featured at the 2017 Overtown Music and Arts Festival. Overtown, once known as Colored Town was a city that designated as a "Blacks only" area. We decided to highlight the city's history and allow festival goers to "color in their city" while learning about Overtown's history. Festival attendees were given coloring books as a takeaway.
