Celebrate the opening of the exhibition Edna Andrade: Imagination Is Never Static with us! Contemporary artists Crystalle Lacouture, Odili Donald Odita, and Dyani White Hawk will present their work, focusing on how geometric composition—a cornerstone of Edna Andrade’s art—is a means of connection to historical, ancestral, or natural forms in their respective practices. They will offer three perspectives on the possibilities of geometry as a specific and culturally rooted visual language. A moderated conversation will follow.

Following the program, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3.
