Black Magic

About

Dark Yellow Dot aims to highlight the cultural diversity of young artists with a strong personal vision and innovative approach to art making. We are curating an exhibition in honour of Black History Month 2018, and will be featuring the work of London based artists to display selected works, at the Genesis Cinema Gallery Space in East London.

The Genesis Cinema has been offering entertainment in London's East End since 1848. With a rich and jam packed history, it had once housed performances by Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, and Barbra Windsor to name a few. Now it's a bustling independent cinema with an ambient cafe and cocktail bar and is known for showcasing local artists in its popular gallery space.

Both the artist and the artwork must be in London to be considered, as both Dark Yellow Dot and Genesis prides itself on promoting local arts and culture.
