The Capitol Hill Art League (CHAL) invites local artists of all mediums and levels to join our membership at: www.caphillartleague.org. Our season runs Jan 1st – Dec 31.

CHAL is a visual arts program of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop.

Yewande will use her time as the 2025 CHAW Resident Artist to develop a new body of

work, titled “Feels Like Summer.” Inspired by the work of authors, Nayyirah Waheed,

Tricia Hersey, and EbonyJanice Moore, among others, this body of work will expand on

Yewande’s social practice rooted in community care, and is in many ways, a response

to the palpable collective grief and heaviness that has overtaken her and our daily lives.

Through narrative portraiture, contemporary still life-like imagery, and curated micro-

installations, Yewande invites viewers to slow down, embrace the lightness of summer

as a feeling rather than a season, and imagine a world where our bodies— her body—

can finally embrace rest, ease, joy, and play.
