ART! Diaspora, raising consciousness – South County Art Association, in Providence
The South County Art Association presents Diaspora, An Open Juried All Media Exhibition on display, which runs until Jan. 25th at the RI South County Art Association’s Atrium Gallery at One Capitol Hill on the main floor of the state’s Administration Building in Providence.
The opening reception in the gallery, One Capitol Hill, Providence, was on Nov. 3rd, and the exhibit is now open to the public.
The exhibit examines the theme of diaspora with artworks expressing inclusion, exclusion, identity, diversity, and how it relates to cultural identities. This exhibit features 30 Rhode Island artists and their 38 artworks selected by Juror Bob Dilworth.
Accompanying the artworks are narratives written by the artists explaining their inspiration for creating the art piece. Some pieces tell individual stories of how ancestry and heritage played into their cultural identity. Other artworks speak to the bigger theme of the migration of cultural identities challenging the ideas of an established world.
