Edition 11 takes THE OG on the road to Detroit, teaming up with exhibition and programming behemoth Library Street Collective to co-curate some of the key talent emerging from their urban landscape. From their first show with REVOK in downtown Detroit to their current exhibition honouring local legend Charles McGee at the remodelled grounds of the Shepherd, Library Street Collective plays a major part in the booming Detroit art scene that has been building over the past decade.
Their contributions have been instrumental in building major art careers, such as Tyrrell Winston’s, and in fostering inclusive community initiatives like the Progressive Art Studio Collective. Library Street Collective’s dedication to supporting artists of all backgrounds exemplifies the spirit of Detroit’s dynamic art culture.
In this edition, THE OG sit with three Detroit natives, Allison Glenn, Tiff Massey, and Lakela Brionne, to discuss the intersection of art, community, and legacy. They explore the importance of creating spaces that celebrate Black creativity, share insights on mentorship, and emphasize the need for authenticity in the art world.
THE OG invite you to discover in this edition the remarkable and stories that define Detroit’s ever-evolving art landscape.
