The current exhibition on view in the Van Every/Smith Galleries, True Likeness, has extended its run to March 28th, 2021, allowing for another full month for visitors to see the show and attend virtual events related to the exhibition that discuss topics such as complexity of selfhood and celebration of human experience.
One such event is a two-part experience involving photographer, Endia Beal, whose work Mock Interview is currently featured in the exhibition. Beal is a North Carolina-based artist, curator, and author who uses photography and video to document the experiences of people of color, especially within the corporate world. She seeks to merge fine arts with social injustice through her portrait photography. On February 16th at 5pm, Beal will join Lia Newman, Director of Van Every/Smith Galleries, in a conversation regarding four bodies of her work including Office Scene, Can I Touch It, 9 to 5, and Am I What You’re Looking For? These works feature personal and contemporary stories of women of color within corporate spaces.
