RSVP HERE.

Join us for the opening reception presenting the exhibition Scorched Petals to Pages: Investigating Narratives at the Intersection of Image Making and Literature, curated by Thomas F. James, featuring artists Kyujin Lee, Madyha J. Leghari, and Thiang Uk.

Scorched Petals to Pages examines the dynamic relationships that exist between literature and image-making, and how they are utilized for storytelling, uncovering truths, and even spreading propaganda. The work in Scorched Petals to Pages explores historical messaging and protest art that can galvanize support for social movements, how one can examine their place in the world, and how linguistics can transcend the human experience. Audiences will be able to engage with interactive installations and poetry from writers from around the world. Learn more about Scorched Petals to Pages here.
