Join us for a virtual exhibition walk-through of Upon Closer Inspection with Adama Delphine Fawundu, Phung Huynh, and Claire A. Warden. Each artist will talk about the selection of artwork included in the exhibition, followed by a conversation with Galleries and Exhibitions Coordinator, Chantel Paul, and a Q&A with the audience.

About the exhibition:

Upon Closer Inspection brings together artworks from three artists who work across different media to explore personal history and lived experiences as they relate to the formation of individual and collective identity. Through drawing, painting, photography, textile, and performance, the selection of artwork from Adama Delphine Fawundu, Phung Huynh, and Claire A. Warden explores complexities of how cultural identity, agency, and representation inform everyday life.
