Opening Reception “Destinations — Dyre to New Lots”

John-Herbert Wright and Bayaal come together to present Destinations — a powerful exhibition that illuminates the rich history of Brooklyn and the people who continue to shape it.

Exploring themes such as the New York diaspora, street art, and the cultural collisions that gave rise to Brooklyn’s vibrant identity, Destinations is part homage, part experience.

Wright, known for blending handcrafted installations with contemporary painting, transforms cultural touchstones into layered works of art. In collaboration with Bayaal — whose work honors the heritage of Africa and its influences through curated home decor, art, and furnishings— the exhibition highlights the cultural fusion that defines Brooklyn.

Celebrate the raw beauty, humor, and resilience of New York’s most iconic borough. Destinations is for those who live it, love it, and want to see it through a new lens.
