Gallery Luperca and Red Arrow Gallery’s co-curated East Side Project Space presents Awakening, a group exhibition running January 7-31, 2017. The opening reception will be on January 7 from 6-9 PM in conjunction with the Arts and Music at Wedgewood Houston Art Crawl.
From the exhibition statement:
"Now we blink back our tears, our sobs subsiding, and look at the world from a new perspective. ENOUGH. It is time to stop hoping and trusting that things will change; we know that safety, serenity, and joy are not waiting around the bend. We reassess who we are and what we believe. We discard the conventions we have outgrown or should never have accepted in the first place.
We take a deep breath and begin to design the new ecosystem, transitioning from consumers to creators.
Let it begin in us. Now. We are here. Here and tired. Here and awake.
#STAYWOKE"
Awakening includes new works from Lakesha Moore, Louisa Glenn, Amy Dean and more. Writer Rachel Martin will host an experiential element that integrates projection and music in a sanctuary space, allowing visitors to submit to their internal ruminations and fears.
