We invite you to join us for a farewell reception for NURTUREart this Thursday, July 25, 6–9pm. As our final season draws to a close, we will gather to bid our space and programs farewell and celebrate the community of artists, curators, and students who have shared their work with us, and the current and former staff who have carried forward our mission for over 22 years. In conjunction with the reception, from 7–8:30pm, we will host a selection of short films by Yto Barrada (@ytobarrada), Keren Benbenisty (@keren_benbenisty), and LuLu Meng (@lulumeng.s), and a performance with Shahrzad Changalvaee (@shahrzadchang), curated by Mira Dayal (@miradaya) and Janna Dyk (@jannadyk). Each artist will present work that shifts the expected relationships between language, material, and recorded histories.
