Visual Voices: Truth Narratives

With the opening reception tonight, Contemporary Craft’s exhibition, Visual Voices: Truth Narratives begins its five-month showcase. The exhibit uses ceramic work that seeks to tell the artists’ personal stories of racism, sexism and classism, by using visual imagery and narratives. The 37 nationally and internationally recognized artists include Syd Carpenter, a Pittsburgh native whose work has been featured in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The work featured is inspired both by the human experience of the artists, and the media they’re influenced by, creating a sense of a global community, interconnected by universal stories. - Lauren Ortego
