Kwaku Alston, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical poster features a portrait photograph by Kwaku Alston, showcasing a smiling Black woman in her 50s with a large layered headwrap, an elaborate beaded red and green necklace, and patterned garments. She stands against a dark, moody crimson background framed by decorative red linework resembling a tarot card or vintage poster border. Floating around her are several stemmed cocktail glasses, each containing dark liquid and a red rose. Her left hand is raised with long metallic fingernails, and heavy silver bracelets adorn her wrist. The bottom of the frame displays theatrical gothic typography reading Haunted Mansion and July 28. The lighting is dramatic and warm, creating a theatrical atmosphere.
