Get It Together
FRI NOV 13 @ 5PM CT on Zoom
Getting It Together
A group conversation about our times with artists Nia Easley and Tulika Ladsariya
Join us for the opening reception for the Ralph Arnold Gallery exhibition Get It Together featuring the works of Nia Easley and Tulika Ladsariya. The way we operate in physical space is a manifestation of the political climate. Get it Together aims to pose questions of ownership and power in the built environment. Nia Easley and Tulika Ladsariya each create work that calls attention to the ways our surroundings are influenced by various ideologies. Through these works, the artists challenge expectations and reveal biases in an effort to put the pieces back together.
Afterwards we will be hosting a community forum to come together and talk as students, artists, and citizens about the challenges we are struggling to overcome as individuals and as members of a community. All voices are encouraged to participate.
