Exit Interview: Why painter Antoinette Cauley left Phoenix for Berlin

The Show series Exit Interview that takes a critical look at Phoenix and asks why so many influential people have decided to leave. Born and raised in Phoenix — largely in south Phoenix — painter Antoinette Cauley’s art is a mix of intense realism, portraiture that she has called “hood whimsical.” She sees herself as a representative — and an advocate — for the Black community in south Phoenix.
