ON! February 7: Open 10am-5pm only. Last day to see Traversing the line, with no fixed point by Briana Palmer. uses various printmaking methods and mixed media to question the use and position of the railway system in national memory and history. It can be a reminder of one’s heritage, while for others it is a symbol of slavery, genocide, and colonization. In this exhibition the artist creates a fictional world with objects in constant flux of meaning and interpretation.
