EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

Flock presents a visual exploration of identity, resilience, transformation, and migration through the work of Bahamian-born artist Omar Richardson, Art Instructor at Hillsborough College. Rooted in the cultural symbols, oral traditions, and spiritual heritage of the Bahamas, Richardson’s practice blends traditional Caribbean visual language with contemporary mark-making. Now based in Tampa, he finds renewed inspiration in the historic and multicultural neighborhood of Ybor City, a setting that echoes themes of migration, resistance, and creative endurance. His woodcuts and prints embody emotional narratives that bridge past and present, homeland and adopted home.

This exhibition also features prints made by three current and former students—Daniel Del Valle, Sofia Braswell, and Eliza Rivera—whose contributions reflect mentorship, dialogue, and artistic growth. Together, the artists invite viewers to reflect on how place, memory, and community shape evolving identities and the collective journey of becoming.
