đŁ ITâS OFFICIAL đŁ Our next exhibitionâDiscipline; Then & Nowâan interactive installation by Marley Billie D ()âopens Fri, Feb 28th!
From the artist:
âDiscipline is more than a set of rulesâitâs a thread that weaves through time, shaping identities, families, and communities. In this exhibition, I invite viewers to journey back to a time when discipline was not just an individual responsibility but a collective endeavor. From classrooms to curfews, from the voices of elders to the rhythm of old-school music, discipline reflected a deep respect for structure, community, and tradition.
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant aesthetics of the 90s and the militant precision of orderly practices, this work explores the intersection of nostalgia, design, and cultural history. Each elementâfrom the bold colors and geometric patterns to the recreated classrooms and global perspectivesâencourages reflection on how discipline has evolved and its enduring role in fostering accountability and unity.
At its core, âDiscipline: Then and Nowâ is a love letter to the pastâa celebration of the people and practices that shaped us and a dialogue about what we carry forward. Itâs a space where shared stories converge, inviting us to rethink what it means to raise, teach, and guide one another in todayâs world.
This exhibition is not just about looking back; itâs about bridging generations, cultures, and values, urging us to ask: How can we honor the lessons of yesterday while adapting to the challenges of today? Through this exploration, I hope to inspire conversations about community, accountability, and the enduring impact of respect and care.â
