2021 Exhibit

The Start Of Something Special

In November 2020, James and LaToya Carey of Kenneth Grant Inzpirations (KGI) Googled the term "black male” in hopes of finding inspiration, while working on a client project. To their surprise, the results were alarming. Many of the images consistently displayed incarcerated, narcotics-selling, and -using individuals, which means that anyone in the community conducting the same search at that time would leave with a completely negative, and false, impression of the African American community. This Google search, along with the other statistics discovered, initiated our first public exhibit, rePresent (now Cultuvue™). 

Above all, Cultuvue™ is a philanthropic endeavor, not a political statement. We are motivated by the "love" for what we do; we are not motivated by social activism. We partnered with One Daytona, as our venue host, to bring the vision to life. Our first exhibit, which brought 1000 visitors in two days, symbolized the community's curiosity and launched our newfound passion. Cultuvue™ Photography Exhibition is one that features the beauty of African-Americans in our local community.
