lore_Artists' Talk

Join us for a deeper discussion with lore artists Amber Imrie and Arden Carlson as they reflect on their works' common influences.

THE SLIT is pleased to present lore, a two-person exhibition featuring artworks by and .

Both artists, rooted in rural Arkansas, interrogate the multiplicity of queer identity through the lens of Southern landscapes and traditions. Their shared disposition as queer artists navigating the challenges and beauty of remote living shapes this exhibition, blending photography, textiles, video, and sculptural elements.

This exhibition challenges conventional narratives of nature as a "pure" refuge, presenting it instead as a site of entanglement where belief, identity, and practicality collide. Through a combination of Southern translation and speculative imagination, the works examine the friction and fluidity of queerness within a space often considered immutable.
