Recollecting Afterimages

Loading Classes

The role of art in times of war raises fundamental questions about our existence as members of the human race. The exhibition Recollecting Afterimages: Portrait of Survivors is an attempt to create a space where the eyes of artists, witnessing the tragedy of violence as a shared story of the mankind, and the eyes of the audience from diverse societies begin to communicate, empathize with each other’s stories, and start to restore the relationship as members of one community. 

 

The exhibition consists of two different layers. 1. A virtual exhibition showcasing artworks of invited artists, 2. A Call for art at the New Art Center, Newton MA. Through these two layers of media platforms, we can expand and diversify the communication of the shared story of violence, which starts from the gaze toward the outer world as well as the inner world of the victims after the violence. 

Explore and contemplate the hanging art at The New Art Corridor (245 Walnut Street in Newton) and take a tour in our virtual gallery! We recommend using a desktop or laptop computer for optimal viewing of the virtual gallery.

 

 

This exhibition is a part of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Curatorial Program. As a community arts education space, the New Art Center believes that art creates change. With a 44+ year history of building community through art, we recognize it is crucial to use our platform to fight systemic racism and social injustices.

The BIPOC Curatorial Program enables curators who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color to develop and share exhibitions that spark dialogue, share personal vision, and personal experiences through curation. We hope this opportunity will create much needed dialogue to counter systemic racism.

The New Art Corridor is sponsored by The Village Bank, Mark Development, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

The sponsors of the BIPOC Curatorial Program include: The Village Bank, The Cambridge Savings Bank, Newton Cultural Council, and The Harmony Foundation.

Student Absences: No refunds will be made for student absences including absences due to COVID or other sickness. We understand that students may have to miss class for a variety of reasons, but New Art decides whether or not to run a class before the term starts based on enrollment and sufficient tuition to cover our costs. Refunding students for individual absences makes it difficult to calculate a breakeven point for each class.

Faculty Absences: All efforts will be made to find a substitute for faculty absences. In the event that a class must be cancelled, students will be notified by email, which will be sent to the address provided during registration. One makeup class will be scheduled each term for a single absence by a faculty member. For multiple absences, a substitute faculty member will be assigned. There will be no refunds for faculty absences.
