Exhibition | Phenomenology, Be Easy by Quiana Parks
- All Day | Friday February 13, 2026 - Friday May 01, 2026
- Gallery | Ace Hotel Brooklyn
Quiana Park’s Phenomenology, Be Easy is an intimate exploration of holding grief and gratitude in the same body—missing people, moments, and versions of oneself, while also feeling deeply thankful to be here, still creating, still supported by community.
The exhibition is a practice in presence: noticing experience as it happens, without fixing it or rushing past it. The phrase “Be Easy” recurs throughout the work, offering permission to soften, slow down, and allow both grief and gratitude to exist without shame or guilt.
Presented in partnership with Ace Hotel Brooklyn, Phenomenology, Be Easy offers a space for tender, layered, and real work—welcoming visitors who have felt the weight and the lightness of holding both truths at once.
On view until April 30.
