Adjoa Jackson Burrowes, hosted by Claudia “Aziza” Gibson-Hunter – Saturday, March 21, 10:30 – 11:30am
Bright, painted patterns in this series recall the vibrant textiles encountered in West Africa decades ago in my travel study with four contemporary African artists, including Nigerian master printmaker Bruce Onobrakpeya.
Susan Stacks, hosted by Adah Rose Biterbaum, Saturday, April 11, 10:30 – 11:30am
My work’s focus lies in pacifying the boundary between objective physical truths and emotional perception. Frequently this means confronting or coping with illness, loss and the search for meaningful action.
Reem Bassous, hosted by Lindsay Mueller – Saturday, May 9, 10:30 – 11:30am
As a survivor of the Lebanese Civil War (1975‒1990), Bassous unhinges the memories from her youth and explores the contemporary implications of historic unrest by situating her personal experience in a national trajectory. Instead of recounting the past in archival detail, Bassous has re-conceptualized the human figure as the personification of her generation and as her home city of Beirut, in an effort to describe the shared trauma of a locale and its inhabitants.
Tinam Volk, hosted by Elzbieta Sikorska – Saturday, May 23, 10:30 – 11:30am
My work explores ambiguity of subjects such as oceans, rivers, landscapes, sometimes a combination of land and water , and figures or animals depicted within a land and water environment.
Shahin Talishkhan, hosted by Valerie Theberge – Saturday, June 6, 10:30 – 11:30am
Shahin Talishkhan is an artist whose distinct visual language reflects a confluence of wide-ranging interests in art, philosophy and science. His paintings are meditations on the nature of visual perception and its connection to our most intimate emotional experiences. These meditations result in imagery that seems both representational and abstract as well as pictorial field that exude a sense of tactile presence, movement, and transformation.

Terence Nicholson, hosted by Sheila Crider – Saturday, August 1, 10:30 – 11:30am
Unbound from any one medium in his art making, he is particularly sensitive to the quality of rawness in his materials. He is a follower of Taoist thought, which values a state of “emptiness” as key in a true creative process. Listening, being the primary tool developed from this state, he is able to use it as he explores his materials along with conceptual themes of social justice, especially as they relate to gentrification, class, trauma, and spirituality.

Ira Tattelman, hosted by Julia Bloom – Saturday, September 12, 10:30 – 11:30am
My work is a dialogue with and reinterpretation of the environs we inhabit. I observe, respond to, and interpret the built surroundings. My multi-disciplinary practice makes physical and emotional connections to the constructed environments in which I live and travel. Since the physical world is constantly changing, I call attention to the planned and unplanned outcomes of human actions.
