an evolutionary leap in consciousness, it must be made to happen and happen very quickly – Elbert “Big Man” Howard (Panther on the Prowl, 2002)

This exhibition investigates various processes found within daily rituals and those influences that inform our consciousness beyond assumed ideas of practicality and function.

Participating artists include: Leslie Hewitt, Monique Walton, Torkwase Dyson, Rashawn Griffin, Charles Huntley Nelson Jr. / Kevin Sipp, Robert Pruitt

...seven artists present six films containing elements of a fantastic vernacular. From personas whose memories mirror experiences of our own, each film’s characters acknowledge events in their intuitive and logical settings with no specific explanation. Using symbols and imagery that contain elements of legend, rituals and folklore, these artists challenge our assumed ideas of what is real and magical. – Lori Salmon, Guest Writer.

Exhibition organized by William Cordova
