André Brown, Ryan Cardoso, & Rue Sakayama Photography at the Wedding Cake House 2011 - 2019

2011-2019

This exhibition is comprised of photography that took place in the Wedding Cake House while it was in disrepair, abandoned and while under construction between the years 2011 - 2019.

ANDRÉ BROWN - Miami based photographer André M. Brown, formerly of Providence, is a life-long creative obsessed with finding beauty, magic and humor in mundane overlooked places. Between 2011-19, the Wedding Cake House served as his beloved muse. André is grateful that she is now entrusted in the loving, ingenious and capable hands of the Dirt Palace.


RYAN CARDOSO is a visual artist exploring the portrait and its importance in archiving the elegance, domesticity, and relationships of the black mundane through photography and film.
