Opening Reception | CORPUS and Pinturas de Casta and the Construction of American Identity
Join the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston to celebrate the opening reception of our next exhibitions, Kukuli Velarde: CORPUS and Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez: Pinturas de Casta and the Construction of American Identity, on Friday, May 13, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Kukuli Velarde’s CORPUS is comprised of ceramic and fabric works that encourage reflection on the meaning of survival in the face of colonialism. Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez’s contemporary casta paintings take inspiration from this problematic genre to reflect on the legacy of colonialism that lingers in the racial and social discrimination and marginalization present in her home country of Colombia and here in the U.S. Free for CofC community and members, $5 donation for non-members.
