Award-winning 'artivist' returns to Hampton, his home away from home, to inspire (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nikkolas Smith was born in Houston and lives in Los Angeles, but a part of the internationally acclaimed artivist belongs to Hampton. “We are so proud of him!” gushed Matthew White, who first met Smith in Pierce Hall, the dormitory next to his when both were freshmen at Hampton University. White joined a line of admirers and alumni last week at Fort Monroe, where Smith signed copies of his award-winning, hand-painted picture book, “The History of We.” Budding artist Selah Godwin, 11, was near th
Survival and the wisdom of the water are the topics of a climate talk on Friday (opens the original)

Connecting how sea creatures live with the struggles of Black, queer feminists isn’t an obvious correlation — unless you’re Alexis Pauline Gumbs. The author, a self-described love evangelist who is a scholar, activist and educator, has a gift for finding parallels between seemingly unrelated material through her research. She pushes boundaries in her words that are poetic and powerful. Gumbs will be the featured speaker of the Elizabeth River Project on Friday for a two-hour talk beginning at 6
Vintage Trixie in Chesapeake caters to the wild, weird and whimsical (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's OK with her, though she prefers Trixie, a nickname she coined for herself. Inside her office, which she refers to as her lair, Trixie giggles a lot, cusses a little and enjoys sharing her fascination with handmade weasel dolls scattered throughout her Great Bridge business called Vintage Trixie. Two eyes aren’t enough to absorb the number of oddities crammed in the sprawling shop — large, loud jewelry; tempting pink jellyfish earrings with tentacles that reach the shoulders. “Y’all have fun
History project leads to digging deep into an artist's 'Ancestral Soil' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Curiosity about Virginia's historic landowners and online sleuthing led Chris Diont'e down a fascinating path. Diont'e, the first artist-in-residence at the Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center, has used the story he discovered for his show at the Newport News gallery. He's also using it in other work to honor his roots. The exhibition, “Ancestral Soil, 1865: The Foundation of Freeman Virginia,” runs through Saturday and bridges the gap between generations more than 150 years apart. Diont'e, 35, g
Manilow in Norfolk: Our writer says, this one's for us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Barry Manilow doesn’t just write the songs that make the whole world sing. He sings the songs that my sister and I memorized every lyric to, starting in the 1970s, when Penny washed dishes while I dried. Penny is older by 10 years, so I adopted lots of her interests. (Why else would I buy a 45 of The Archies’ “Sugar, Sugar?”) But nothing connected us quite like Barry, whom we will see in concert when, at 83, he brings his farewell tour to Chartway Arena in Norfolk on Saturday night. I can’t coun
