Join the New Art Center for their next exciting exhibition in our BIPOC Curatorial Program!
The role of art in times of war raises fundamental questions about our existence as members of the human race. The exhibition Recollecting Afterimages: Portrait of Survivors is an attempt to create a space where the eyes of artists, witnessing the tragedy of violence as a shared story of the mankind, and the eyes of the audience from diverse societies begin to communicate, empathize with each other's stories, and start to restore the relationship as members of one community.
The exhibition consists of two different layers. 1. A virtual exhibition showcasing artworks of invited artists, 2. A Call for art at the New Art Center, Newton MA. Through these two layers of media platforms, we can expand and diversify the communication of the shared story of violence, which starts from the gaze toward the outer world as well as the inner world of the victims after the violence.
