Something from Something
Curated by Harvee White
June 5-August 8
Through an intersectional and contemporary lens, Lewis H. Foster, N. Masani Landfair, and Jas Jermaine Turk, explore cultural heritage and identity through the analog act of cutting and pasting. Though each artist has their own approach and reasons for choosing collage as their platform, the gravitation toward exploration of identity through found materials is foundational.
Curated by Harvee White, Something from Something not only serves as an exploration of intersectional Black identity in collage, but also attempts to answer why collage has positioned itself as a frontrunner medium for this exploration in general.
Join us on First Friday, June 5 to hear from the curator at 5pm followed by an opening reception from 6-8pm.
