“Torn Mixology” is a fresh take on what one might expect to see in a gallery. You won’t find painting, sculpture or photography there. Instead, Felia Davenport leads the viewer through a life-size clothing installation that weaves together her memories and lived experiences with commentary on racism and generational trauma from a first-person perspective.
