Our year kicked off today with the start of classe Our year kicked off today with the start of classes and the opening of “Diana Al-Hadid’s: Nothing is Stable," in the @gsu_artdesigngallery. The show was curated by Art History Associate Professor Dr. Susan Richmond and Gallery Director Cynthia Farnell, funded by a @gsucencia grant and @gahumanities. On January 28, we are excited to cohost the @artpapers LIVE virtual artist talk with Al-Hadid, as a part of our exhibition programming. Visually and thematically, Al-Hadid draws on Middle Eastern and Western cultures and iconographies, often combining and re-contextualizing wide-ranging historical sources. She has found inspiration in ancient maps, miniature painting, architectural designs and illuminated manuscripts. Her artworks are spatially complex with richly varied surfaces and hauntingly mutable forms. Despite their structural integrity and skilled fabrication, a sense of ruination pervades them. Events are free, but registration is required for the talk and reservations are recommended for the gallery.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week, leading up to t It’s Transgender Awareness Week, leading up to tomorrow’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. Here at the Welch school, we reflect with gratitude on work by our artists that intimately depicts and expresses personal experiences of those in the Transgender community. Today we share work in a series by B.F.A. alum @tealkorby that “emphasizes the internalized nature of gender and disembodies the idea that facial features dictate one’s gender or gender expression.” Each portrait is captioned with every individual’s pronouns—a reminder that using someone’s correct pronouns is an essential way to acknowledge their authentic self!
