Portraits of Yemaya features paintings, photographs, sculptures, and site-specific work by Atlanta-based artist and scholar Arturo Lindsay. Yemaya is the Yoruba orisha (maternal Deity) whose domain is the sea. Her colors are blue and white and her temperament is gentle and loving until provoked. She is a maternal deity with special significance to African descent peoples in America whose ancestors traveled the seas as victims of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
