I want to thank my friend Bill Jungels for supplying these black and white shots of the opening reception that occurred on 3 June 2016 of Cassandra’s SOULJA exhibit in Buffalo’s ¡Buen Vivir! Gallery of Contemporary Art. All photos below are Bill’s except for the three in color after his, which I shot. Many thanks go out to all those who made this exhibition possible – especially those who are gone, but not forgotten. Orin Langelle
