An Afternoon of Art & Wine with Dakarai Akil

This special daytime experience invites you to slow down, connect, and immerse yourself in a body of work that is both visually striking and deeply thought-provoking. Rooted in Afrosurrealism, the work explores color, form, and composition in a way that challenges perspective and invites conversation.

The artist, Dakarai Akil, a Los Angeles–based collage artist and illustrator, brings a decade of creative exploration to this installation—having exhibited in both solo and group shows, collaborated with leading cultural and media brands, and participated in international residencies across Nepal and Thailand. His work lives at the intersection of design, storytelling, and global influence.

Thoughtfully curated bites and wine will be available for purchase throughout the afternoon, creating a setting that feels both relaxed and elevated—perfect for lingering, engaging, and taking it all in.

Whether you come for the art, the wine, or the atmosphere, we invite you to spend the afternoon with us.
