Evergreen Gallery
On, With and Against
Opening reception: Friday May 24, 6-8 PM
Exhibition continues through June 14, 2013
Students from the program "Video in/and Performance Art" will be presenting the culmination of their work this year as an art exhibition and lecture series called On, With and Against. The exhibition in Evergreen Gallery includes video, multi-media and performance works.
Faculty member Naima Lowe and the students state: “The title, On, With and Against, is borrowed from a book called Disidentifications by Jose Esteban Munoz. This text explores the ways that artists confront racial, cultural and gendered difference in the United States. It provided a potent shared vocabulary for how we can work to unhinge ourselves from oppressive power dynamics such as racism, sexism and cultural appropriation while acknowledging our complex relationships to those systems. As artists, students, collaborators, performers, philosophers, and people we're called to work On, With and Against the imposed stereotypes, distorted imagery and oppressive histories that shape so many aspects of our identities.”
