His work critically examines race, identity, and culture—especially as they relate to people of African descent—drawing from his upbringing in inner-city D.C., his Haitian heritage, and lived experience. Rejecting strictly polished aesthetics, Emmanuel often works with raw, tactile materials — found objects, hand-carved wood, cultural memorabilia, even food products — to evoke history, memory, and material storytelling. His visual language channels influences like Jazz, R&B, Rap, folk art, and street vernacular, creating layered narratives that blur formal boundaries. Emmanuel has exhibited internationally, and his work is held in significant collections including the Baltimore Museum of Art, C21 Museum, The Flint Institute of Arts, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. </p><p>Connect with Emmanuel: https://www.emmanuel-massillon.com | @massi___</p><p>------</p><p>This episode is part of PROCESSA TALKS, a podcast and curatorial series by Processa—a roving platform founded by Kiara Ventura that supports experimental exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations with Black and Brown artists.Learn more and check out our programs at: processa.art</p><p>Support the podcast and our physical space: processa.art/donate</p><p>Intro & outro beat credit.

Hidden Paintings within Found Furniture: Revealing home[body] with Kiarita (S2-EP.4)
<p>In this episode, Kiara Cristina Ventura sits down with multidisciplinary artist Kiarita within their debut solo exhibition home[body] at Hausen in Brooklyn to explore the delicate architecture of intimacy and queer eroticism. Set amid hidden paintings and altar-like assemblies inside found vintage furniture, the conversation touches on how safety and “chosen family” is woven through acts of communion. This dialogue delves into sensual textures, concepts around love & relationships, and the ways rest becomes resistance.About Kiarita:Born in Hackensack, NJ (1999) and based in Brooklyn, Kiarita is a Dominican artist working across painting and sculpture. In home[body]—curated by Usen Esiet (March 6 – August 31, 2025)—their “queering of the antique” and lush, tactile painting technique reveal sensuous moments within the found furniture. Inspired by Audre Lorde's "Uses of the Erotic, The Erotic as Power," the exhibition embraces eroticism “as a resource within each of us,” using intimacy and rest as tools of resistance. Kiarita holds a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies from SVA and is currently a Bronx AIM and New York Van Lier Trust Fellow. Their work has been honored by Rema Hort Mann Foundation and the Sylvia Lipson Allen Memorial Fund.Connect with Kiarita:scintillating.space | @sacralrise------This episode is part of PROCESSA TALKS, a podcast and curatorial series by Processa—a roving platform founded by Kiara Ventura that supports experimental exhibitions, conversations, and collaborations with Black and Brown artists.Learn more and check out our programs at: processa.artSupport the podcast and our physical space: processa.art/donate</p><p>Intro audio credit (non-profit use) : yogic beats</p>
