Join us on Tuesday, April 2, 5-7pm in Gillespie Gallery of the Art and Design Building for an opening reception for Faces and Figures: Identity Through Printmaking in South Africa, an exhibition curated by students taking the "Curating an Exhibition" course taught by Dr. LaNitra Berger.

Faces & Figures: Identity Through Printmaking in South Africa is a student-curated exhibition that explores artists’ expressions of identity in contemporary South Africa through the lens of printmaking. The artists are alumni and current students of the Artist Proof Studio (APS), a community printmaking center of excellence in Johannesburg, South Africa. Featuring over 100 prints by 40 artists from throughout southern Africa, the prints range in technique, style, and subject matter, drawing inspiration from South African popular culture and history as well as personal narratives. Embracing the spirit of self-awareness and innovation central to APS, these artists offer a glimpse into the complexities of personal and collective identity in Johannesburg.  

The Art and Design Building is building #3 on the campus map. Paid visitor parking is available at the Shenandoah Parking Deck.
