SMC Barret Art Gallery Exhibition Opening Reception in collaboration with the Black Lunch Table

Converge+Vertex: Traversing the minor gesture of timelines

Opening Reception and The Black Lunch Table Photo Booth: Tuesday, October 15th, 6–8 PM

Exhibition runs September 21st, 2024 through May 11th, 2025.

SMC’s Pete & Susan Barrett Art Gallery — in conjunction with The Black Lunch Table — presents an exhibition that features Black artists from the Los Angeles area and explores what has influenced their art and how they have influenced each other through intergenerational conversations via their artworks. The exhibition was planned by SMC students under the leadership of interdisciplinary artist and guest curator Cole James, who teaches at Otis College of Art and Design and is a Somatic Abolition Communal Consultant, member of the Collective Abayomi and the Development Team For Artist Infrastructure Initiative at Now Be Here, and a collaborator with numerous organizations on projects supporting restorative justice and environmental advocacy.
