On view from September 19 - 21, 2025, at Untitled Art Houston, Booth A31, the pairing of Bradley’s dioramic homes with Gulilat’s Cornerstones photographs opens up a spatial dialogue that points to complicated personal and public histories. Selected works aim to inspire complex and nuanced conversations around belonging, hope, and the nature of hospitality.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Perata Bradley was born and raised in Freedmen's Town, located on the southwest side of downtown in Fourth Ward. She graduated cum laude from the University of Houston with a BA in art and is a Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP). Bradley is a mixed-media artist who spotlights gentrification through the use of photography and sculptures at the intersection of architectural design and social narrative. Bradley's commitment to the Fourth Ward runs deep, transforming her studio into a space for education and activism and showcasing artworks alongside protest posters. Bradley's approach to her practice shows how artists can use their studios as platforms for education, advocacy, and community building. Bradley was in residence with the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft in 2024 and exhibited work in the HCCC, In Residence: 18th Edition.
Originally from Ethiopia, Eyakem Gulilat roots his work in the search for belonging. Through photography, he navigates the complexities of cross-cultural interactions, exploring how time, memory, and place shape our experiences. His images provoke questions about the relationship between subject and photographer, the borders that define us, and how perspectives shift when viewed through the camera’s lens. Gulilat holds a BA from Abilene Christian University and an MFA from the University of Oklahoma. He has been an artist-in-residence at renowned institutions such as the Center for Photography at Woodstock, New York; Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, Oregon; and Light Work in Syracuse, New York. His work has been honored with awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts grant in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Council of Tulsa, the National Photography Fellowship at the Midwest Center for Photography, the En Foco Photography Fellowship, and the Project Row Houses and University of Houston Fellowship. His work has been widely exhibited across the U.S. and Canada and is held in notable public and private collections. Gulilat is currently a 2024-2026 Tulsa Artist Fellowship awardee.
