T Magazine x TRNK
Since December 2021, I’ve collaborated on several projects with TRNK, a New York-based furniture design studio. One of these projects, a photo story for its new Tribeca showroom opening March 2022, has been highlighted in a preview by T Magazine. I’m excited to share more work from this collaboration in the coming weeks.

From T Magazine:
“When he created the design studio and curatorial platform Trnk NYC in 2013, Tariq Dixon’s intent was to push the boundaries of the typical showroom by producing exhibitions and collaborations that interrogated cultural bias within the art and design worlds. After the pandemic hit, he closed Trnk’s SoHo showroom but kept the enterprise going digitally and delved into projects touching on social justice and identity. In November 2020, for instance, he collaborated with the London-based designer Evan Jerry of Studio Anansi on a collection of furniture inspired by the entangled relationship between African aesthetics and Western Modernism. Now, Dixon is opening a new brick-and-mortar space on the ground floor of a 1920s building in TriBeCa. It’s divided into five separate chambers, and he hopes visitors will “meander and sit with each of the vignettes we’ve created.”
