Dispensing Influence by Gerry Laureus, Antwan Calderon, Daquan Carathers, and The Black Flame Collective from Queens, NY Dispensing Influence features a 7-foot gumball machine on top of a heptagon structure with steps leading up to the machine – like up to an altar. The clear dome holds hundreds of miniature heads, each symbolizing a Yoruba god in one of seven vibrant colors. Participants turn the metal crank, dispensing a “gumball”, a metaphor for how influence – divine, cultural, and ancestral – can enter our lives unexpectedly, yet with purpose.
