MOTHERSHIP STUDIOS
Mothership Studios is hosting an opening reception for the “Layers of Us” exhibition on April 30 from 7-10 p.m., as well as a brunch reception from 9-11 a.m. the next day. “Layers of Us” is an art exhibition featuring artists Mia Acosta, Maleah Bradford, Adrianna Garcia, Danny Ibarra JR., Karli Jackson, Lucas Kraft, Elizabeth Olivera, Lori Rodriguez and Hannah South from Texas State University.
This presentation of work explores the intricate nature of “culture” through individual representation and the notion of community. The artists in this exhibition seek to encourage their audience to look inward and expand their perception of the world around them.
Participating artists explore this theme through video, painting, photography, sculpture, and multimedia. Albeit different, each artist expresses their own perception of what “culture” means to them and the people around them.
Some pieces demand further introspection and thought to uncover and understand the artists’ interpretation, while others are more oriented around documentary and representational displays carefully capturing moments of the communities they’re surrounded by.
Guests are invited to engage with the artists throughout both receptions and participate in informal discussions surrounding the processes behind the named artists work.
Mothership Studios is located at 20027 San Marcos Hwy. 80, Bay 5.
Both events are free and open to all. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the venue, and Mothership Studios is wheelchair accessible.
