Canceled – Visiting Artist Lecture: Cassi Namoda
Virtual EventsCassi Namoda uses painting as an exercise in crossing cultural and historical references between her country of origin and the rest of the world. Using colors of intensities that range from the subtle to the acidic, applied in raw and expressive brushstrokes, the artist explores and cross-pollinates religious symbols with literary characters and real people, forging complex narratives. Namoda studies the unlikely meeting points between antagonistic mythologies and gives new meaning to symbols through boldly constructed images.
