Unapologetic in their mission\, these visionary artists used their work to amplify the voices of the African diaspora\, leaving an indelible mark on Harlem’s cultural landscape and beyond during a time of social and political upheaval. \nMany Weusi artists played a pivotal role in establishing the CAC as a creative hub for Black artists and a landmark cultural institution in Harlem. They served as teachers\, mentors\, and advocates\, championing the value of arts and culture in the community. \nReflections of WEUSI will feature the work of 16 collective members\, spanning from 1965 to the present. This timely exhibition brings their legacy into focus\, offering both instruction and inspiration to a new generation of artists navigating an evolving yet familiar landscape of challenges and change. \n \nParticipating artist list  in alphabetical order:\n \n\n\n\nAbdullah Aziz\nJesse Anthony Henry\nAdemola Olugebefola\n\n\nKay Brown\nJennifer Ivey\nOkoe Pyatt\n\n\nPerry Cannon\nMLJ Johnson\nEd Sherman\n\n\nRobert Daniels\nDindga McCannon\nDeborah Singletary\n\n\nJimmy James Greene\nKarl A.

This heartfelt exhibition not only showcases the talents of young artists but also serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Betty Blayton Taylor’s vision and dedication.

Born in Puerto Plata\, Dominican Republic\, Milagros draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of her childhood—ocean waves\, bustling markets\, and the aroma of coffee and sugarcane. Growing up during a challenging political era\, Milagros found strength in her family and guidance in the form of Doña Maria Luisa\, a Freedom Fighter and Master Knitter. This mentorship became the foundation of her journey into the world of fiber arts\, knitting\, crochet\, and social justice. \nEarly Influence and Mentorship \nAt seven\, Milagros’ meeting with Doña Maria Luisa marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Hindered by financial constraints\, Milagros proposed a unique arrangement—she’d work for knitting lessons. Doña Maria Luisa\, a fearless advocate against dictatorship\, not only agreed but ignited in Milagros a passion for social change. Doña Maria Luisa’s passing didn’t halt Milagros’ growth; instead\, she became part of a collective of women mentors\, guiding her until her family moved to New York. The vibrant culture of NYC\, coupled with the influence of the “Black is Beautiful” movement\, shaped Milagros’ perspective\, fueling her commitment to equity\, sustainability\, and gender neutrality. \nThe Batista Collections: Brand Bio \nMilagros Batista – Designing for Equity\, Sustainability\, and Gender Neutrality \nA decade ago\, Milagros transitioned careers to dedicate herself entirely to knitting and crochet. In 2016\, she birthed Batista Collections\, challenging preconceptions in high fashion. The resurgence of these crafts during the pandemic amplified her mission\, solidifying their presence in the industry. Milagros’ designs stand out\, incorporating intricate cables reminiscent of braided hair. Pieces like the “Free Spirited” shawl/jacket symbolize freedom and self-expression. As Batista Collections moves forward\, it envisions pushing creative boundaries\, defining a path where fashion meets individuality. \nMission Statement \nAt Batista Collections\, we’re crafting a fashion revolution beyond gender norms. Fashion should liberate\, allowing limitless self-expression. Rooted in inclusivity and authenticity\, our gender-neutral garments empower individuals to embrace their unique identities without fear or limitation. Meticulously crafted\, our designs blur gender lines\, allowing wearers to explore personal style with confidence. We celebrate the beauty of diversity\, honoring the rich tapestry of global identities. Committed to sustainability\, we prioritize ethical practices and mindful production. Join us in this transformative journey where fashion becomes a tool for self-expression and empowerment. \n\n \n\n\nAna Ofelia Rodriguez \n\n\n\n\nAna-Ofelia is a multilingual Community Development individual who focuses on bringing people together through the arts and promoting exemplary projects by highly trained professional artists and educators whose passion is to work with people in marginalized communities. In 2002 she introduced legendary artist Faith Ringgold to Broadway Housing Communities to begin a conversation on the need of more structured spaces for children to learn about art. These conversations with Ms. Ringgold culminated with the creation of the first children’s museum in Harlem. The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art and Storytelling\, is a beacon of hope for current and future generations of children and families of Northern Manhattan. \n\nThe enchanting world of Milagros Batista is made possible with funding from West Harlem Development Corporation\, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation\, the Ruth Foundation for The Arts and donations from New York Film Academy and Hamilton Heights community members.

Born in Puerto Plata\, Dominican Republic\, Milagros draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of her childhood—ocean waves\, bustling markets\, and the aroma of coffee and sugarcane. Growing up during a challenging political era\, Milagros found strength in her family and guidance in the form of Doña Maria Luisa\, a Freedom Fighter and Master Knitter. This mentorship became the foundation of her journey into the world of fiber arts\, knitting\, crochet\, and social justice. \nEarly Influence and Mentorship \nAt seven\, Milagros’ meeting with Doña Maria Luisa marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Hindered by financial constraints\, Milagros proposed a unique arrangement—she’d work for knitting lessons. Doña Maria Luisa\, a fearless advocate against dictatorship\, not only agreed but ignited in Milagros a passion for social change. Doña Maria Luisa’s passing didn’t halt Milagros’ growth; instead\, she became part of a collective of women mentors\, guiding her until her family moved to New York. The vibrant culture of NYC\, coupled with the influence of the “Black is Beautiful” movement\, shaped Milagros’ perspective\, fueling her commitment to equity\, sustainability\, and gender neutrality. \nThe Batista Collections: Brand Bio \nMilagros Batista – Designing for Equity\, Sustainability\, and Gender Neutrality \nA decade ago\, Milagros transitioned careers to dedicate herself entirely to knitting and crochet. In 2016\, she birthed Batista Collections\, challenging preconceptions in high fashion. The resurgence of these crafts during the pandemic amplified her mission\, solidifying their presence in the industry. Milagros’ designs stand out\, incorporating intricate cables reminiscent of braided hair. Pieces like the “Free Spirited” shawl/jacket symbolize freedom and self-expression. As Batista Collections moves forward\, it envisions pushing creative boundaries\, defining a path where fashion meets individuality. \nMission Statement \nAt Batista Collections\, we’re crafting a fashion revolution beyond gender norms. Fashion should liberate\, allowing limitless self-expression. Rooted in inclusivity and authenticity\, our gender-neutral garments empower individuals to embrace their unique identities without fear or limitation. Meticulously crafted\, our designs blur gender lines\, allowing wearers to explore personal style with confidence. We celebrate the beauty of diversity\, honoring the rich tapestry of global identities. Committed to sustainability\, we prioritize ethical practices and mindful production.
