Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley Expands THE DELUSION Beyond the Gallery with New Interactive Online Game

Serpentine has launched "I DIDNT REALISE YOU THOUGHT LIKE THAT," a new online game and critical thinking tool by artist and game designer Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley. Available from May 21, 2026, on web and mobile platforms, the project extends the world of Brathwaite-Shirley's acclaimed "THE DELUSION" and explores polarization, identity, and social connection beyond the gallery. Developed with nonprofit Beyond Code Collective and supported by Glass Castle Foundation, the game places players in a post-apocalyptic universe where they encounter fictional characters and make decisions that shape narratives and determine multiple endings, drawing on real-world materials from news cycles, social media, and community testimonies.

Eye opening: Artist speaks through the eyes in his artwork

Alexandre Emmanuel Henrique, a Brazilian-born artist now living in Cary, North Carolina, has a solo exhibition titled "BraFro" at the Waterworks Visual Arts Center in Salisbury. The show is part of the gallery's larger exhibit "ART from ALL Perspectives." Henrique's paintings explore his family history, particularly the story of his great-grandmother, who was enslaved in Brazil after being brought from Africa. The works use eyes as a central motif to convey emotion and narrative, ranging from sorrow to joy, with titles like "Sorrow" and "Once Upon a Time." Henrique works primarily in oils, and many pieces were created specifically for this exhibition.
