Curator-Led Tour
Thursday, June 11 at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha
This tour with Rachel Adams, Bemis Center’s Chief Curator + Director of Programs, offers a look at the themes and ideas that shape the exhibitions Miatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding and MOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape.
What to expect
Rachel Adams guides visitors through the themes and curatorial thinking that shape both exhibitions. Miatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding explores hybridity, memory, and sustenance through mixed-media works, sculpture, video, and text, while MOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape brings together photographers Rachel Cox and Rose Marie Cromwell in a conversation about closeness, care, witnessing, and connection.
Why go
This curator-led tour is a chance to experience Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts through the perspective of the person who organized the exhibitions. For anyone interested in contemporary visual art in Omaha, it offers a more layered way to read the works on view and the relationships between the two summer exhibitions.
