Learn the artistic process and insights of artist, Camisha Butler and about her latest show, “Every Thing I Am”

About the show: “Every Thing I Am," examines the significance of physical belongings and their roles as the facilitators of ancestral memory. While societal narratives often urge detachment from material objects, this exhibition delves into the profound connections embedded within them. Memories of loved ones are intricately interwoven in the possessions they once owned leaving behind a tangible collection of distant memories. “Every Thing I Am”  invites viewers to reconsider their own relationship with the personal artifacts that serve as communicators of ancestral ideology and personhood within their own family history.

Join us to celebrate our newest exhibition, “Arrivals”. Light refreshments will be served.

About: "Arrivals" is a show that teeters on the edge of experimental work provoked by the experience of liminality and liminal space. It’s the moment of missing your usual stop on the train and stepping into a place of transition: the platform of the unknown. This place feels so familiar, but its not quite your stop. Your daily pattern is broken, and you begin to see yourself as a new person in this unusual place and thus you are unusual too, an experiment. This ambiguous place lacks tradition and gives you a moment to explore before you board the train to your intended destination. We are looking for artists with original work that breaks genre and perhaps even pushes past a singular medium. This is a show about mood, liminal space and shifting perspective. Who do we become in a new place? Can we let go of the past and its visual language? How do we reconcile with the nature of an in between state?

The museum will be displaying art and have information on the museum as well as volunteering opportunities at ‘Coffee and Chrome’.

Time: 8:30 a.m. to noon

Address: Jess Lucas Park, 3585 Atlanta Avenue, Hapeville
