The Delicate Ties That Bind

The Delicate Ties That Bind explores the precariousness of post-pandemic existence, focusing on the complex and often fragile relationships that shape our lives. The exhibition delves into the intersections of social and geographic communities, religious institutions, political systems, the land, and personal connections. Through this lens, the featured artists examine the delicate threads that weave together our shared experiences in a world forever changed by recent global events.

The eight participating artists have a connection to Southern California or Claremont Graduate University. The exhibition is curated by Megan Knobloch Geilman.

The exhibition opening will feature a panel discussion with Amanda Beardsley and Mason Kamana Allred, co-editors of Latter-day Saint Art: A Critical Reader, published by Oxford University Press. The panel, moderated by Glen Nelson, will be held October 19, at 4:30 p.m. in the Albrecht Auditorium on the campus of Claremont Graduate University. All are invited.

From 6:00-9:00 p.m., in the Peggy Phelps Gallery and the East Gallery, all are invited to an opening reception with remarks at 6:30 by the curator, artists, and the dean of the School of Arts and Humanities.
