With reflection on recent news and COVID-19, we are doing our part to help keep the communities we support safe and healthy at this incredibly challenging time by following the Center for Disease Control's recommendations as well as the State of Connecticut Health Department regarding preparedness and prevention of COVID-19. As a result, we unfortunately must cancel our closing reception for Witchy/Extra Human on April 19.

Join us for the closing reception of Witchy, an unjuried exhibition with work that addresses issues of ritual, magic, power, and how these concepts inform ideas about equity, health, spirituality, identity, and community. Can magic, then, be understood as a different type of power, a way to combat political power that threatens many of our communities?
Annie Sailer Dance Company will perform a new work choreographed by Annie Sailer titled “magic thing” in conjunction with the exhibition of her assemblage installation, bluejean project: magic thing 1.
Dancers include: Susan Golub, Yoko Kurimoto, Rod Rufo, and Annie Sailer

“‘The Daily’ is broadly about paying attention, living in the present, and counting time – which of course marches on. Sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, twenty-four hours in a day. Before you know it, a brave new decade unfolds.”
—Sharon Butler
Hong Kong in Poor Images presents artworks that picture the cityscape, people, and ordinary life of Hong Kong curated by ZENG Hong, a 2020 Yale-China Arts Fellow.
In recent decades, leading artists of the Hong Kong contemporary art scene have explored themes that visualize the vernacular culture of the region. The intended “poor” representation through digital images reinforces these artists’ insistence on exploring the intensity, hybridity, and fluidity of Hong Kong everyday life, thus shaping a disruptive force of idea and emotion within the mainstream commercial and institutional system of Hong Kong art scene.
Hong Kong in Poor Images is presented in partnership with Yale-China Association.
