SUMMARY:Member Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:Members at the Curator’s Circle ($550) and above are invited to an exclusive curator-led gallery talk and reception on the upcoming exhibition “Light Within Ourselves: Haitian Art in Iowa.” We will be joined by Associate Curator Beth Gollnick Ph.D\, Chawne Paige\, Executive Director of the Waterloo Center for the Arts\, and Petrouchka Moïse Ph.D.\, Assistant Professor and Cultural & Community-based Digital Curator\, Grinnell College Libraries. \nThis exhibition explores the vibrant diversity of Haitian artwork\, featuring paintings\, metalwork\, sculpture\, and drapos (beaded and sequined banners). Rooted in historical themes\, it considers the influence of the African diaspora and the enduring impact of colonialism on the Haitian people. The exhibition maps spheres of influence between artists of different generations and explores imagery in which spiritual traditions intersect with everyday life. Thousands of miles from the island of Haiti\, Iowa has become a beacon for the preservation of the country’s cultural heritage. \nAfter the gallery talk\, enjoy refreshments by The Tangerine Food Company. \nFree; registration required by May 6. Space is limited. \nregister now \nCurator’s Circle+ members can RSVP by emailing Jess Lane\, Gala and Development Events Coordinator at jlane@desmoinesartcenter.org \nQuestions?
