COMING SOON:
SHIFT: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally
July 31 - October 9, 2021
SHIFT: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally is a snapshot of artists living and working in Ohio who embody an art practice that prioritizes universal transformation by starting from within their immediate purview. The exhibition is curated by Maria Seda Reeder.
Concepts and approaches to art making that are both intimately distinctive as well as internationally conscious can support and become a catalyst for radical change at all levels of society. In this moment of environmental crisis, ongoing social unrest and political upheaval in the United States as well as abroad, the arenas in which artists might be able to affect change are severely contracted yet have profound implications. The twelve artists in SHIFT create art with the understanding that a commitment to the collective begins with a devotion to the intimately personal.
Featured artists include Amber J. Anderson, Autumn Bland, Alison Crocetta, Lauren Davies, Tracy Featherstone, Terrance Hammonds, Kevin Harris, M. Carmen Lane, Lorena Molina, Danielle Julian Norton, and Xia Zhang.
Media support is provided by CD92.9, CityScene, Ohio Channel, Ohio Magazine, and WCBE 90.5 FM.
