Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs is presenting "Mass Mixed Media," a solo exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Achille “A.J.” Barbel at the Orange County Multicultural Center Art Gallery. On display through April 14, the free exhibition showcases Barbel’s exploration of Afro-surrealism and cultural identity through a variety of mediums including murals, installations, and animation.
This local showcase highlights the intersection of personal and collective histories, offering a platform for Barbel’s unique visual storytelling in the Orlando community. By blending abstraction with cultural memory, the exhibition reinforces the role of regional multicultural centers in promoting contemporary artists who examine the complexities of the African diaspora and modern identity.
