Introducing Madly Involved ✰✰✰
CURATED BY MUENI LOKO RUDD
Come through on February 16, for the opening night of “Madly Involved,” the newest art show at The Future Front House. Curated by Texas-based cultural producer Mueni Loko Rudd, this exhibition kicks off two months of events at The House for Black History Month and Women’s History Month.
Drinks by Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Topo Chico, with tunes by Austin-based performers DJ Fairy Aries and Intimacy Simulator. RSVPs encouraged. Scroll for more details on how to attend the opening.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Madly Involved, curated by Mueni Loko Rudd, shares an immersive group exhibition that explores the intricate relationship between artists and their creations through the lens of various sociological perspectives.
This collection showcases diverse works that reflect the dynamic interplay of identity, symbolic interactionism, and global influences within the contemporary art landscape.
Through the exhibition, witness how participating Black women and Black queer artists, deeply immersed in their creative process, draw inspiration from symbolic interactionism.
Symbolic elements, both personal and cultural, serve as the building blocks for their expressions, transcending conventional boundaries.
The exhibition delves into the impact of identity, social class, and cultural capital on artistic preferences, highlighting how individuals from different backgrounds engage with art uniquely. The spectrum of artistic choices mirrors the socialization processes that mold artistic identity.
