Mar 2 - Apr 1, 2023
First Thursday Opening: Mar 2, 5 - 8 PM
In-Person Artist Talk with Sam Geballe and Brittney Cathey-Adams: Thu, Mar 2, 6 PM
Sam Geballe makes self-portraits to shift perspective from how they see themselves to their interpretation of how others see them. In 2014, Geballe had gastric bypass surgery that radically changed their life. In their body of work Self-Untitled, Geballe uses self-portraiture as a way to process life - a practice of self-acceptance, visualizes the feeling that false perceptions provoke, and speaks more broadly to the mistreatment of a person. Through their art, Geballe strives to depict that being vulnerable and forming connections can be healing.

Mar 2 - Apr 1, 2023
First Thursday Opening: Mar 2, 5 - 8 PM
Zoom Artist Talk: Wed, Mar 15, 6 PM (PT)
In Remember the South, artist Frank Frances creates a contemporary re-imagining of colonialism through a fictional adaptation of elements used today that represent a potent past. A visual narrative that is a nod to the systematic integration of a brutal history, Remember the South serves as an ode to the memory of a past that is still being experienced in the present.
