About
In The Beginning...before humans migrated all over the world, they were one - simple communities where they survived together. They hunted, were nomadic and described their daily experiences by marking walls.
After migrating, humans developed their cultures, customs and physically changed as a cause of adaptation to environment. Eventually, we became more sophisticated and artistic. Using this as the inspiration, an exhibition was put together curating artists and works from around the globe, currently residing in the U.S., particularly Georgia.
We have cultural differences, but we have far more in common, especially our humanity. Borders and cultures were created to separate us in some respects or show distinctions amongst us. However, we can find commonality in our artistic expressions, creative rituals, and our unique points of view about society and all the things we are connected to. We are exhibiting our determination to present a united group or collective willing to see more than skin color, more than stereotypes and other labels created by and for ourselves. We can speak in our artistic language, dissolving man-made differences to reveal who we really are...a group of talented, creative, imaginative people doing extraordinary things with our artistic skills. But...the emphasis of this project is to go beyond that, to show that art breaks barriers and is an extension of our humanity. We are presenting an artistic setting at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center, where our primary objective is to see ourselves as one and many at the same time, by the common and universal language of art.
