<div>Hello dear community and supporters of Black Power Naps 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since it’s three month installation at the<a href="https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5551" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoMA last winter</a> , Navild Acosta and Fannie Sosa’s renowned project Black Power Naps, an art installation that welcomes soft sculpture designed to offer a restful space for Black visitors and accomplices, has been in storage, awaiting its next exhibition.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Both Sosa and Navild have been fronting the cost for monthly storage while negotiating a show opening this month, but the show was cancelled last minute this week, creating a snowball effect of debt, last minute arrangements, and untold levels of stress. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Without support from a broader community to store the work until it finds a long term licensing / loan or a permanent home, Black Power Naps will have to be dismantled and destroyed.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
