About the works in the exhibition:

J. Hun-En Joswick’s video series, Rumors, “serves to teach each of us how we are affected by the words of others. It is an opportunity to realize how our words affect those around us as well.”

Jarvis Mace’s series, Voices of Identity, is “a video art series that explores people of my generation, our experiences, and how we reflect on these experiences that have shaped who we are now.”

Cullen Austin Irby’s series Outer Banks is “a body of work that explores memory, self and different emotions throughout life. Outer Banks connects abstract self-portraits to where he grew up in coastal North Carolina.
