“Roots” by Aisha Harrison “Growing up biracial and queer in a society that decides your identities based on your appearance was very difficult…..I am working the idea of belonging through roots to the trees that grow where I live through hair, DNA, and imagining a space where the connections that exist between all living things is visible.” I have the honor of curating « In.Visible » , an exhibition @thebascom featuring 22 powerful artists from across the US. Each artist confronts social, political, and/or ecological challenges through a mythic lens; rewilding stories to find possible solutions. Opening Oct. 5th through December 30th. #belonging #roots #exhibition #myth #mythiclens #storytelling #ceramic #ceramiccollector #artcollector #painting #highlandsnc #ashevillenc #thebascom #ceramicnarraitve @carrieannbaade @donnabatesart @andreakconnell @ilonacutts @natashadikarevart @tjerdahl @graysonstudios @amyla174 @howitsheld @Richard_W_James @christinekosibasculpture @michellelaxalt @asiamathisart @mac_art_ceramics @shannonmoore_art @cmorey @kyungminpark929 @hannah.ceramics @beauraymond @davidrobinson1979 @kjstingle @roxanneswentzell
