Opening Reception: She Blinded Them With Science by Andrea Tosten
Friday, Dec. 2 | 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. | South Dallas Cultural Center
She Blinded Them With Science by Andrea Tosten is a body of work using text and pattern to explore social constructs, binary thinking, and the nature of existence. Her works on paper incorporate the processes of hand-lettering, drawing, origami and the zoetrope. Working with a minimal amount of materials is important for her to convey a silent strength with a sense of the ephemeral nature of each moment in reflection upon a prominent figure of her culture, Queen Nanny, leader of the Windward Jamaican Maroons, who was almost erased from history.
This exhibition is free and open for public viewing from Dec. 2, 2022 – Feb. 3, 2023.
