DoublePlus presents three weeks of shared evenings for which established artist-curators each choose a pair of emerging artists and mentor them through the creative, production and audience development processes.
The fine line por Solea

Gully spring: Di exhortation
Shamar Wayne Watt
We live in an era that is in search of a revolution, whether it be politically, socially, educationally, religiously, communally or economically; an era yearning to believe in something… What of a revolution through the spirit?
I, Shamar Wayne Watt, decree and declare that a revolution is needed. I shall be the leader and follower of my own religion. With “I”, the advocate and with the power vested in me, I shall vanguard this insurgency. This revolution of mine shall be called Gully spring.
