outer space: home of the bonfire
OUTER SPACE, a groundbreaking new project from OyindaSOLA, is more than just a greenhouse—it's a meticulously crafted living studio designed to be a fertile ground for creativity, a serene haven for rest, and a boundless realm for imagination. As the founder of The Sola System and AYE Gallery + Altar Studio, OyindaSOLA introduces this new, vital orbit into our constellation: a botanical haven where the worlds of art, holistic wellness, and pure inspiration seamlessly converge. This is an experience and a sanctuary dedicated to connection and growth, featuring an herbal garden, a retail apothecary, and various plant offerings. It is a space to take a deep, restorative breath, engage in meaningful learning, commit to reflection, and embrace the freedom of play.
In partnership with Sunday Dinner, OUTER SPACE will expand its universe into applicable industries like cannabis by embracing The Bonfire on 420 Eve. Through artful and thoughtful cannabis food and drink programming, these entities hope to create a safe, holistic space for Black and POC individuals in the industry to connect, share, learn, and, in the spirit of the Greenhouse, grow.
