Let Me Tell You: Dane County Artists on Reproductive Health Justice
July 17, 2024 - September 14, 2024
Artists from Dane County responded to Communication’s Call for Entry for art relating to the theme of abortion and reproductive health justice.
The resulting exhibition features comics, painting, collage, ink and poetry.
These pieces touch on issues of transness, healthcare, and legislative politics as they relate to the autonomy of the body and mind. In the face of a government that obfuscates our rights as they pertain to these issues, these pieces are declarations and instructions.
COMMUNICATION PART 2: REVELATIONS
September 24, 2022 - January 2, 2023
Reception: September 24, 4-7pm
Communication Part 2: Revelations is a reflective, introspective exploration of communication. It’s a complementary counter to the outward, community-oriented communication themes in Communication: Meaningful Connections. This second exhibition delves inward to focus not only how one communicates with oneself, but also how one discloses oneself and identity to others.
