Adjunct Professor Frances Beaver in SITE Seeing at Little Berlin

Author: tuj81552

SITE Seeing is a show about challenging the constructs of time and space and the potential to create new realities. Shifting possibilities of the real offers political agency and promise of new utopias. It is easy for us to imagine what could go wrong; and to see what has already gone wrong, but while we fight for a better world, it’s important to dream about what could be. The artists in this show slice through the fabric of reality to give us a glimpse of what could be on the other side.Artists: Lani Asuncion Frances Beaver Phaedra Call Juliana Foster Josh Graupera Ron Tarver Ellie Tomlinson Zines from Martaleah Sandler, Josh Graupera and Metropolarity Read More
