'We Are The Visuals’
December 13 - 14
Opening Reception: Saturday, December 13 from 6-10pm
ABOUT THE SHOW:
‘We Are The Visuals’ explores the methods and technologies with which queer Black and Brown folks have built in the name of self-preservation. Through self portraiture, sculpture, visual art, and sound, we have utilized these art forms as powerful means of expression, reflection, and storytelling. This show will bring them together to display the infinite ways queer Black and Brown artists experience our own identities and reach for preservation. It will explore our survival, our joy, and our resistance in a world actively trying to erase us. History is currently being written, and this exhibition will be our hand in writing it.
'Get Bit’
December 13 - 14
Opening Reception: Saturday, December 13 from 6-10pm
Coming up in December, ‘Get Bit’ featuring works by Talbot Kenney, Noah Steely, Kenni Pham, and Bianca Bisej. The opening reception will be held on Saturday December 13th from 6-10pm. The Eclectika is located at 711 N. Britain Rd, Irving, TX 75061.
About the show:
This exhibition invites you to Get Bit and experience the artificial hive mind of social media. We explore the impact of contemporary technologies and algorithms on the traditional family unit and the domestic space having their perceptions contrived and contorted based on what they consume.
