Join us Thursday, September 17, from 5–7 PM for the opening reception celebration of a stunning new exhibition by Micaela de Vivero at the Granville Center for the Arts. Micaela is a celebrated Denison University Professor and award-winning artist. Her work explores pre-colonial Andean culture, focusing on khipus and tocapus, two forms of material communication used within the Inkan Empire as a way to look at the colonization process with critical eyes. The exhibit considers their relationship to power and order, creating a thoughtful dialogue between images, objects, places, and histories. The result is as complex and fascinating as it is beautiful.
Micaela’s work has been exhibited in major cities around the world, and it is such a special opportunity for our community to experience her remarkable work up close.
Come meet Micaela and enjoy a wonderful evening of art and community. The reception is FREE and open to everyone.
