HEART-PARTS

Join us at the Epitome Gallery in Eureka, California, for a transformative art experience throughout February with EMCEE RADIOACTIVE, aka Tsumnu Chit, a versatile artist whose musical journey spans the globe. As an award-winning emcee, freestyler, beatboxer, and songwriter, he has graced stages from intimate venues to large festivals. His unique blend of Hip Hop influences and street experiences infuses raw emotion and honesty into his performances. A true multi-talent, Radio Active is not only a captivating performer but also a voice-over talent, muralist/visual artist, poet, storyteller, and occasional instrumentalist. With a knack for innovation, he seamlessly integrates Hip Hop into various genres, making him an electrifying and integrating artist. Over his 25-year career, Radio Active has toured extensively, sharing stages with renowned artists like Michael Franti & Spearhead, Ani DiFranco, Common, and many others. He has received two Gold Records for his contributions to Spearhead's acclaimed single "Rock The Nation." As a ghostwriter, Radio Active has collaborated with music legends Sly and Robbie, showcasing his lyrical prowess. Notably, he received a Grammy Award Plaque in 2017 for his contributions to "Secret agent 23 skidoo’s” album titled “Infinity plus 1.” Beyond his musical achievements, Radio Active engages with communities, particularly through Hip Hop Congress. Currently based in Northern California, he actively works with at-risk youth, conducting creative writing workshops and virtual lessons for students of all ages. In 2012 and 2014, he earned Best of the Bay Awards for Best Hip Hop in the North Bay, solidifying his impact on the music scene. Radio Active continues his global musical journey, grounded with an international perspective, as he remains dedicated to learning and teaching Hip Hop.

The exhibition, HEARTPARTS, intricately weaves together the essence of humanity, cultural diversity, and a celebration of unity.

Dive into the captivating world of interconnected faces, each portraying unique expressions and closed eyes that draw you into the depth of emotion. Embracing Black History Month and indigenous cultures, Tsumnu's art beautifully incorporates heritage through flags and cultural symbols, fostering connections between different worlds.

Throughout the month, engage in workshops and lessons, witness live art during performances, and seize the opportunity for a meet and greet. The gallery experience extends beyond visual appreciation, offering a chance to explore the harmonious blend of art, music, and Hip Hop culture.

Let “THE HEART-PARTS” be a beacon of peace in challenging times, breaking down the barriers that divide us. Tsumnu's message is clear: by infusing love into our endeavors, we can effortlessly connect and build bridges that withstand the tests of separation. This exhibition is not just about art; it's a journey towards unity and understanding. Join us on this extraordinary exploration starting February 3 at the Epitome Gallery.
