“I see Black people as art.”
I am a mixed media artist, educator, and photographer based out of Washington, D.C. I combine striking black and white photography with acrylic paint or fabric and upcycled frames as canvases. My artwork not only features my students, but celebrates and honors them as living pieces of art. My art is about them; the photography is them. The subject matter is always them. I like to connect them, placing them in Black history. There’s something beautiful about connecting the past and the present and teaching them visually in that way.

Sherri Romm's art explores the divine intelligence that flows through all existence, using a visual language that transcends the ordinary and invites viewers into realms of the supernatural.
I am an artist and creative technologist based in Silver Spring, Maryland, with a passion for experimentation and community.

I am also very excited about discarded objects and ephemera.
Mr. Roswell's Neighborhood (MRN) is the electronic music project of Aaron Auslander (pseud.) from Baltimore, Maryland. The project is focused on the creation/production of instrumental electronic music that incorporates creative aspects of experimental as well as contemporary music. The music features fast beats and high frequencies with alternating patterns and rhythms hosting unique sound designs and layers of warped kick drums, detuned arps, and bitcrushed melodies.
