Audrey Desjardins, Assistant Professor of Interaction Design and featured artist, will discuss reimagining how we live with technology and data at home.

Diana Al-Hadid: Archive of Longings
October 2 – February 6听|
See this exhibition in person at the public opening celebration on October 2. Details below – hope to see you there!
Diana Al-Hadid鈥檚 work explores the interplay between the female body and the European art canon; Syrian, Muslim, and immigrant histories and mythologies; and architectural icons and the natural world. Born in 1981 in Aleppo, Syria, and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Al-Hadid creates artworks that speak to her interest in the melding of cultures and the translation of disparate narratives. This monographic exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery will consist of a selection of 13 sculptural works made between 2010 and 2021 brought into interpretive grouping for the first time. Together the sculptures identify the artist鈥檚 investigation of historical, mythological, and biblical narratives of women as a fundamental through-line of her practice.

Packaged Black听at the Henry Art Gallery听brings together the work of artists Derrick Adams (b. 1970, Baltimore, MD) and Barbara Earl Thomas (b. 1948, Seattle, WA) in a collaborative, multi-media installation developed from their shared dialogue about representation, Black identity, and practices of cultural resistance. This exhibition is a synthesis of a multi-year, intergenerational, and cross-country exchange between New York-based Adams and Seattle-based Thomas that began after the two artists exhibited work alongside each other in a group show at the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2017.
