Join a guided walkthrough of the exhibit and participate in an artist Q&A. There will also be an ongoing collaborative community poetry project happening in the gallery that responds to the exhibition. The artist received the Young Alumni Commissioning Project Award and commissioning support from The College of Visual and Performing Arts for her project. This show will consist of a series of large-scale oil paintings, each accompanied by documentary photographs and poetry. In exploring her personal experiences with navigating the ebb and flow of her chronic illness, Flare offers audiences the chance to reflect on commitment to place, how we process pain over time, and the vastness of the potential for healing.
