New Myths and Varied Tales: Truth, Lies and Shiny objects
January 14 - February 5, 2021
New Myths and Varied Tales: Truth, Lies and Shiny objects is an invitation to engage in conversation with artist Jeannine Bardo, about what holds value to us. Bardo’s work focuses on our relationship to the natural world and one another. Her installation is meant to welcome you into a space of shared stories that together have been transformed into new myths and varied tales as a way to make sense of the trauma and violence we inflict upon the Earth and one other. The conversations are meant to come from a place of hope and agency, to talk of love and beauty and how we want the world to be, to share what we hold as precious, what is valuable and why, to engage our imaginations and to build new truths towards a new narrative that includes a collective of new myths and varied tales. Why? Why not?
Please join her to add your voice to the conversation.
Opening Reception: Friday, January 14, 7-9 PM
