Unbound Visual Arts (UVA) is pleased to announce the opening of an in-person exhibit at its Arthaus Gallery in Allston. Emerging From Refuge, curated by Karen Smigliani, brings together the work of 12 visual artists to explore how we are all emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 12 artists include: Linda Clave, Anita Helen Cohen, Gary Duehr, Jack Energy, Sarah Gately, Lynda Golderg, Bob Greene, Pauline Lim, Elisandra Lopes, Katha Seidman, Diane Sheridan, and Jennifer Turpin.
This exhibit is a follow-up to UVA’s virtual exhibit, Portraits in Refuge, from 2020. That first exhibit offered expressions of isolation, anxiety, peace, beauty, and optimism during our pandemic. The Emerging from Refuge exhibit builds on that earlier theme. The new exhibit recognizes that we are all tentatively emerging from the long confinement from the Covid-19 pandemic. The exhibit addresses several key questions:
How has your life been opening up, or not?
What has changed for you? Has returning to a more normal life brought comfort, new joy, or concerns, worries or anxiety?
What has changed for you?
While viewing this exhibit visitors are encouraged to contemplate and discuss how their lives may be different as they emerge from refuge:
What did you discover during confinement? What new activities will you continue? What will you now stop doing? How have you, your family or friends changed? What has changed around you and in your community? What have you learned? What will you miss? What will you not miss?
Free Admission but registration requested at https://UVARefuge.Eventbrite.com
