Opening Reception: "Reflections of Home" and " Memory Vignettes"
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Join us for a joint reception of "Reflections of Home" and " Memory Vignettes" on Sunday March 6th, from 4pm-6pm.
"Reflections on Home" features the work of Bay Area immigrant artists, each expressing their reflections on "home" and "belonging". As these themes become political points in national policies, especially for people of color living in the US, the immigrant women showcased in this exhibition are firmly making their roots known through a proclamation of their "home" though the visual arts. Co-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center, ARTogether, and Gathering All Muslim Artists (GAMA).
"Memory Vignettes & Poem-Paintings Series" features the work of Salma Arastu. Arastu started these series in 2005 driving inspiration from her childhood memories from Rajasthan, India and stories of youth spent in Hyderabad, India, Iran and Kuwait. The paintings from these series are three dimensional, mixed media on Board. Predominantly square in shape these are smaller in size but innovative works that are driving inspiration from Indo-Persian miniature paintings and Folk art while pushing the boundaries of form, composition, and narrative to emphasize the messages visually.
