Borders of Paradise: In the Eyes of Explorers
Imagined and exaggerated depictions of the new continent and its offerings persisted through the nineteenth century, satisfying the appetites of curious Europeans hungry for tales of mysterious, lost paradises and evolving primitive worlds. This exhibition will feature maps, etchings and engravings, many of which appeared in literary works, which helped to reinforce and shape the Old World's skewed perception of life in the New World. Curated by Cynthia Duval of the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach.

Six Degrees of Seperate Nations: Ebony G Patterson and Peterson Kamwathi
Two artists from vastly different parts of the world, Jamaica and Kenya, investigate identity. Despite the vast distance between them, they ironically share much in common. The influence of colonialism and the repercussions of colonial history have impacted how these artists perceive themselves today, as well as how they place themselves in proximity to the "other." Curated by Claire Breukel, the exhibition will feature a collaborative installation where the artists will meet for the first time and respond to each other's work.
