RECENT PROJECTS
Back to tha Junkyard is the second installment in Aris Taniyah’s completed Back to tha.. trilogy, exploring themes of family lineage, immigration culture, displacement, and self-reinvention. Inspired in part by All Dogs Go to Heaven, the project uses the character Ann-Marie as a symbolic alter ego representing rejection, transition, and the search for belonging. Through the work, Aris reframes the idea of “home” as something carried within oneself while embracing vulnerability, confrontation, and raw self-expression as forms of personal power.

THE FOUNDER
Aris Taniyah is a Haitian-Jamaican-American multidisciplinary visual artist and cultural programmer based between South Florida and New York. Working across painting, photography, installation, and spatial storytelling, her practice explores identity, cultural memory, reinvention, and contemporary visual narrative through both personal and community-engaged contexts. Her work is rooted in the belief that art functions not only as image-making, but as a vehicle for cultural preservation, public dialogue, and collective experience.
Selected collaborations, exhibitions, and programming initiatives include work with Norton Museum of Art (Dress Codes: First Place Exhibitor), Rohi’s Readery, CityPlace, BOCCARA Fine Art Gallery, Sassafras, and more. Alongside with community-based cultural events and panel programming across Palm Beach County and New York City.
Her contributions have included exhibition curation, spatial installation design, visual merchandising, youth arts workshops, mentorship programming, public art activations, live cultural events, and multidisciplinary creative direction centered on identity, storytelling, and collective experience.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHTS
PUDDIN BY AALIYAH KEYS, 36 x 48 in.
"Puddin is a mixed-media portrait created with oil paint, oil pastels , and acrylics to honor my grandmother, Puddin. She has endured the loss of her son, my father, and her husband, my grandfather. Both were strong Black patriarchal figures whose guidance shaped our family and my understanding of identity as a biracial woman. Their absence profoundly influenced how we define strength, love, and connection. This work reflects the grief my grandmother and I experienced together and the resilience we developed. We both relied on my father and grandfather, and their passing required us to find new ways to support each other. The portrait incorporates white floral elements that represent remembrance and passing in the African American community. while parts of the flowers shift to translucence, suggesting the fragility of memory and the way moments with loved ones linger and change over time. Musical references, inspired by artists like Dinah Washington, highlight our family’s deep connection to music and how we use it to inspire and love. The inclusion of her dog, Queenie, honors the things my grandmother loved and grieved long ago, showing that memory and affection extend beyond people to the small, meaningful parts of her life."
PASS THE BOUQUET BY AKIVA DE CHALAMBERT, 14 X 18 IN.
"The calla lily is a versatile flower. It is popular at weddings and funerals, an ode to love and death—and to rebirth. In many ways to be queer encapsulates these many meanings. It is a rediscovery of the self beyond the limits set by gendered norms and social standards for love, both in romance and friendships. Queerness to me is rebirth. It is letting go of allegiance to normalcy, and instead aligning with authenticity. As we build community and connections with each other, we share this experience of exploring identity, share the fragility and beauty of blossoming into our authentic selves. We pass the bouquet."
KNIGHTED by Sabastyan Henriquez, 24 x 72 IN.
"This piece explores the inner thoughts, feelings and tensions of being hidden but at some point shining through. Layered text echoing voices attempting to silence or to stay unseen. Armor representing protection, and survival. This work explores the dangerous and volatile nature of being someone who is gay and never letting this stop them."
