GRASSLANDS: Mwinga Sinjela’s Afrofuturist Debut Opens with SHEER and The Formula Collective at Chashama Gallery
Chashama Gallery at 1155 Avenue of the Americas was transformed into an immersive, colorful landscape for the opening of GRASSLANDS, a solo exhibition by Zambian-born painter Mwinga Sinjela, presented by SHEER and The Formula Collective. The vibrant debut features a striking collection of Afrofuturist works celebrating Black and Queer identities, inspired by Sinjela’s love of science fiction, comics, and animation. With sounds by DJ TMLLLS and a full house of artists, curators, and creatives, the evening offered a dreamlike portal into a liberated future. GRASSLANDS is on view through April 13, 2025.
