I went to the COMPLEJO opening the other night with my sister and cousin. COMPLEJO by Tony Peralta explores complexes people of color have regarding hair texture, skin color and etc. It was inspired by the recent controversy sourounding Sammy Sosa , the Dominican former Major League Baseball star who used chemical products to lighten his skin and straighten his naturally curly hair. If you did not know already Tony is also the designer behind The Peralta Project. Yeah, the mastermind behind the famous "Defend Uptown" t-shirts and tanks everyone has been wearing in The Heights. You can now check out the exhibit at the NoMAA Gallery at 178 Bennett Avenue @189th street (3rd floor).
