experiments in faith

pop-up installation | Octavia’s Bookshelf | pasadena ca | june 2025

a living installation of experiments in Black memory, surrender, and imagination. each piece acts as its own inquiry into how faith is developed, remembered, and reimagined—through ancient, present, and futuristic lenses. the installation also offers participants handmade bookmarks, that are up-cycled from sketches.

coinciding with Octavia Butler’s birth month, this show is also a love letter to Pasadena’s finest. one year since my first reading of Parable of the Sower, this installation also marks a moment of alignment in the evolution of foster the studio & its own practice of faith/becoming.
