is an Afro-Cuban American artist from Chicago, USA.

Her first solo show, titled "Black Imaginary to Counter Hegemony," was installed at the Simard Bilodeau Contemporary in Los Angeles.

Rosales works to reinterpret Renaissance masterworks by replacing #BlackHeroines as the main subject of the painting because she says that “religion and power go hand in hand” and the colonists had used religion to “manipulate and control.”

She explains the idea that a Eurocentric white male dominated heaven is all what people seen and it is what everyone grows up around to the point that such a high value is placed on them.

This view to her made her feel excluded from this Eurocentric dominated art world which helped to inspire her paintings.

She said that she hopes to be able to empower people with art, even if it is a small group of individuals and to give women of colour “artworks that reflects their beauty that has been ignored for so long.” via Wikipedia

Marshall Allen - The Omniverse Oriki - Afro-Cuban space jazz from Allen's trio with the Ade Ilu Ensemble

Beautiful space, wild chaos, fire lotus– we now embark on the future-ever present, the conjuring of the past in non-linear chronospace, we present narratives in African/Afro-Cuban dreamtime! This is The Omniverse Oriki, legendary Sun Ra bandleader Marshall Allen Trio’s collaboration with the Ade Ilu Ensemble, an explosive macrocosmic reach into the residual ethers of the past to birth a new future, right here the now! Pulled together on Halloween night, 2023, Marshall Allen’s trio and Philly’s Ade Ilu Ensemble channelled and churned indelible musical spirits in extended “oriki”, Yoruba narratives set to explore omniversal wavelengths, to unmoor the patterns of universal control through Afro-Cuban-Futurist diagrams. Their first confluence was at Marshall’s monthly residency in Philadelphia, then captured here at Rittenhouse Soundworks Studios. The result is a righteous din, a mythological cacophony, a joyful noise. Swirling notes of Afro-cuban entrancing Lucumi, shocked and fragmented Afro rhythms, and vibrant flourishes of rhapsodic free jazz– we are here at the sonic temple! We are the beautiful space! -Alex Smith All music composed by Marshall Allen Published by Arkestral Music (BMI), traditional Lucumi cultural sources and co-created by the musicians listed above.  MARSHALL ALLEN TRIO: Marshall Allen - Leader, EWI, Casio keyboard, alto saxophone, vibrations DM Hotep - Guitar with effects & synths, live vocal effects Kash Killion - Cello with effects, sarangi, vocal ADE ILU ENSEMBLE: Kevin Diehl - Leader, Itotele bata, Lucumi chorus, producer Joseph Toledo - Lead Lucumi vocals Olufemi Mitchel - Lucumi chorus, achere Tongo Hernandez - Iya bata, Lucumi chorus John Wilkie - Okonkolo bata, Lucumi chorus
