Meditate Meditate Meditate is a two-person immersive exhibition, featuring new works by Chap Edmonson and Mark Francis and curated by Anthony J. Suber, opening at SANMAN Gallery from September 13 through October 25, 2025. Through video installations, mixed media works, soundscapes, textures, and scent, the exhibition explores meditation and stillness as an inherently Black act—one that has always existed in kitchens, churches, porches, barbershops, beauty salons, protests, and quiet breaths between struggle and joy.
Rather than retreat, Black meditation has historically been about creating peace where the world refuses to offer it—through movement, music, gathering, prayer, and rest. This exhibition reclaims meditation as both resistance and possibility, a place where memory, sound, and presence converge. The show asks: What happens when we rewire how we see ourselves, how we heal, how we rest? Mediate Meditate Meditate is both a reflection and an invitation—to slow down, to feel, to remember, to imagine.
