From January 24th to March 6th, artists Yehimi Cambron, Ato Ribeiro, and O.M. Norling present their work in a joint art exhibit in Conant Lobby. Cambron, a Mexican born DACA recipient and former high school art teacher, uses mural work as a form of activism and to tell the stories of the immigrant experience and to reclaim their narrative. Ribeiro, a multidisciplinary artist, uses his wood-working and print media skills to create pieces inspired by traditional Ghanaian Kente cloth and African American quilts to help bridge his West African culture and African American identity in western culture. Norling, who paints under his Swedish great-great grandfather's name, uses his ancestor's story of life and compulsion as inspiration for his whimsical paintings featuring animals, furniture, and objects that are reflective of a different time and embody the human experience. Each artist provides a unique perspective, and each has a story to tell through their art. All are welcome to come hear these stories on January 30th 6pm-8pm at the Art Reception and Artist Talk, which will begin at 7pm. This exhibit and event is free and open to the public.
