SCAT Gallery opens with May installations

May 2, 2023

Two new artists are featured in the SCAT Gallery for May.

Today, May 2 at 6 p.m. will be the opening art reception for “Through TheseRealities” which is a photography and poem exhibit curated by award winning photographer Joshua Sarinana.

“Through These Realities” challenges the narratives of mass media that invalidates the experiences of people of color through the interactions of images by six photographers of color: Adam Cordelle, Andrew Harris, Kenia Arbaiza, Wandy Pascoal, Xudong Liu and Paul Sayed who were inspired by six poets of color: Kesper Wang, Isabella De Palo Garcia Perez, Durane West, Alysia Williams, Mayank Chugh and Cesar Sanchez Beras.

Our other featured exhibit will be “Sanctuary” by Phoebe “Pheebz” Warner who is a Boston-based interdisciplinary and community-based artist focused on the word CULTIVATE. They believe art is meant to feed the communities we live in to stimulate our minds, to tell our stories, to send messages, to celebrate, and to commemorate.

A note from Pheebz:

“This is my thank you.

To the communities in the city who have opened their doors to me.

To the people who recognize my strengths.

To the souls who share their sacred spaces.

Thank you.

Here is a piece of my Sanctuary for you.

Right in the heart of the busy streets

Amongst the smog, the smells, the sounds, the light,

A moment of connection with the Earth

Brought to you by

My legs, My feet,
