At City Arts Salon, “Soft Life” asks what it means for Black communities to embrace softness, rest, and joy in a city that often demands survival first. The exhibition features visual artists Keshida Layone and Oronde Kairi, whose work explores identity, healing, self-preservation, and emotional well-being through stylized realism. The show remains on view through June 28 at 5838 Germantown Ave., with an artist talk on June 6 and a closing reception from 2 to 5 p.m. on June 28.
