The Magic Hour

JOSH NUCCI

Joshua Nucci is a 23-year old African American, Blackfoot Indian, Brazilian, Italian and Portuguese visual artist, story teller, musician, and curator from Seattle, Washington.

“My cultural background of Indigenous descent inspires the stories I am drawn to tell with my music and visual art. I am focused on building community. Art is a way that I can share the knowledge I've gathered with others and learn myself. I utilize my visual art, color theory, and music to bring out the life and spirit I see inside of everything. From a pattern on a rock to the knots of a tree, I observe and listen.”

KATANA SOL

Katana is an observer and listener who values community and kindness through bright colors and images of empowerment.

She likes to stop and listen to those around us, and see that as we are all connected, that we are an entanglement of so many things to still understand, and values listening to the stories of the past necessary to move forwards into a new future.

NAHOM GHIRMAY

Having experienced diverse cultures worldwide, my art is profoundly influenced by these encounters, redefining my notion of 'home' and enriching my creative expression. Within my artworks, I venture into the exploration of identity and delve into the emotional depths, captivated by the subtle nuances of facial expressions and body language. Drawing inspiration from the stories, ambitions, and concerns of those around me, I strive to capture and portray these narratives. Ultimately, my goal is to foster connection among people, promoting empathy and dialogue that transcends cultural boundaries.
