This celebration of Black culture, Black history, Black resistance, Black art, and Black community invites community and friends across the city to commemorate Juneteenth as more than a federal holiday, but a cultural commemoration of freedom.
"LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM" is an act of resolution: through the exhibition, Raymar confronts the tension between stillness and avoidance, asking what it means to face what lies within rather than move past it. The work embraces the notion that forward movement often requires direct engagement with discomfort — and that “the only way out is through.”
"LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM" invites viewers to reflect on their own moments of pause and transition, and to consider the resources—often already within reach—that make movement forward possible.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Raymar is a Detroit-based multidisciplinary artist whose work merges filmmaking, photography, music culture, and performance to explore family, identity, and the creation of alternative visual realities. He is a recipient of the 2025 Emerging Artist Fellowship powered by Gilbert Family Foundation.
Beginning as the eldest sibling documenting home life on early smartphone cameras, he developed a cinematic language rooted in musicality and everyday storytelling—an approach that later led to his home film being featured in his installation 918 during Detroit Design Month 2023.
Influenced by Detroit’s artistic lineage and early inspirations like Beyoncé’s fusion of music, fashion, and visual narrative, Raymar has expanded his practice into fashion films, photo series, projection mapping, music videos, creative direction, and songwriting, crafting imagery that reflects both personal history and forward-looking experimentation.
