Date/Time
Location
Graham Hall and Oresman Gallery, Hillyer Hall, Brown Fine Arts Center, Smith College (22 Elm Street, Northampton MA)
Celebrate the opening of Everything falls to time / Everything falls in place, a new exhibition by Shabez Jamal, Harnish Visiting Professor of Art at Smith College.
This immersive installation examines the connection between the Black build environment and space/time. It draws on the complex histories of Black cities and townships established after U.S. slavery, as well as the rich history of religious syncretism that developed alongside this migration. This work offers a new understanding of illegibility and of place, time, and space as crucial tools for subverting systems of power.
