ArtCenter/South Florida: Parallels and Peripheries
October 10, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Wednesday, October 10th from 6-9pm experience the grand opening of ArtCenter/South Florida‘s newest exhibition, Parallels and Peripheries, which celebrates eight women artists who challenge the power dynamics between mainstream American society and marginalized communities.
6 – 7 p.m. Panel discussion
7 – 9 p.m. Exhibition Opening + Resident Night
The works examine a range of topics, including stereotypes fueled by migration, race and gender. Each responds to our dramatically shifting cultural and political landscape and its roots in centuries of efforts designed to oppress disenfranchised people. The artmaking is personal, born from the narratives, myths and memories that shape the artists’ – and society’s – identities.
Curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, the newly named Susanne Feld Hilberry Senior Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and Co-Founder of ARTNOIR, Parallels and Peripheries features artists Bethany Collins, Lizania Cruz, Genevieve Gaignard, Susan Lee-Chun, Joiri Minaya, Jamilah Sabur, Saya Woolfalk, and Kennedy Yanko.
Free and open to the public, RSVP here.
