Between Heaven and Hell
On view through August 9, 2024
at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center
In Forrest Aderholt’s work, the devil is–literally and figuratively–in the details. His
paintings and fiber works invite us to look closely, and pause on a strange phrase, an
eerie element, or a mixed media detail. Reflecting on memories that are based on
personal experiences, Aderholt looks at the indoctrination of belief systems and power
relations that are simultaneously universal and personal. The artist borrows from
religious imagery, both in form and content, only to make the beholder question what
they are actually seeing: Is the snake the threat, or the demonic man swinging the axe
it? Is the church or the convenience store the contemporary place of worship? Yet he
leaves it up to us to find the answers.
Originally trained as a painter, Aderholt is increasingly pushing media boundaries in his
works by incorporating embroidery in his works on canvas, and exploring other fiber arts
such as weaving and creating narrative environments with sculptures.
Based in Austin, Texas, the artist earned his BFA in painting from Southwestern
University in 2016.
Visual art by Forrest Aderholt as part of the FTC Comedy Presents series up through Friday, August 9, 2024, curated by Christine Burger.
 The Oak Cliff Cultural Center is honored to present Qué Calor, a solo exhibition by Eliana Miranda with a reception from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Saturday, August 10. The exhibition will be on view through September 20, 2024.
Qué Calor investigates environmental intersectionality that stems from heat related disasters revolving around the U.S.- Mexico border. The impact of rising temperatures is felt all over the world through catastrophic events such as heat waves, flooding, and droughts. However, the influence of a changing climate is experienced through the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico Border. On the border, heat, land, and water are used as a weapon to hurt immigrants and asylum seekers. These events are detrimental to human life and survival often becomes the overarching goal.
Mudanza Project: Community Dance Exchange
Saturday, August 17 and Saturday, August 31, 2024
6:00 to 8:00 PM
at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center
Mudanza Dance Project is a pop-up program by Mudanza serving underserved communities in Dallas, Texas. The project will provide a series of weekly dance workshops to give residents a platform for storytelling, community building, and policy change. Mudanza is a unique program, because it recognizes the sociocultural challenges BIPOC residents face and uses dance as a medium for inclusion of its ability to facilitate conversations and storytelling without the necessity of a common language. In dance the body is the main tool of communication, allowing young residents whose main language might not be English to participate comfortably. The program aims to connect participants of diverse backgrounds to one another in a joyful manner while creating and supporting a network of local artists. Free and open to the public.
Event Organizer: Rebeca Trevino, Mudanza Dance Project
Movement Artists: Rebeca Trevino, Carlos Cortez, Johan Ibanez, Bandan Koro
