Teenage Bedroom
Created by : UZUMAKI CEPEDA
The bright bold colors of my work reflecting the innocence of childhood and the loud palette of bodegas and fresh acrylic nails, among other things. I create and express as I piece together who I am within this world, that in the meantime, I am coating in soft faux fur. delivers late ’90s/ early 2000s teen bedroom vibes, from a Spice Girls poster to a functioning Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart running on it.
BLIND DATE WITH DESTINY
Visitors are invited to enter one of two sides of this room, with a barrier in between. Some instruction about palm reading is given out (one of a variety of pseudoscientific portions of 29Rooms), then one side of the room reads the palms of those on the other.
Make Your Mark
This is where you can paint the “collaborative sculptural color by number” designed by Emerson. The space also features “a speed round circuit training of mini art class experiences,” according to a press release.
