The Rockwell Museum in Corning, NY is Open today, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Location: Student Gallery (Floor 2)
Free and open to the public
In collaboration with Southern Finger Lakes Pride, Southeast Steuben County Library and Planned Parenthood of Greater New York
High school students who participate in the Gay at the Library After School (GATLAS) program present a student exhibition that illustrates the importance of accepting individuals for who they are and being open to understanding diverse identities and perspectives. Inspired by artist Félix González-Torres’s “Untitled” (L.A.) candy spill installation and Le Mat (The Fool) by Devan Shimoyama, students focused on symbolism in art to express their identities through mixed-media collages. They also created a flower interactive to promote connection and inclusion. The idea of love and acceptance connects to important and relevant issues around self-determination and bodily autonomy, revealed through the lens of gender and sexuality in teen lives today. How can we empower each other to transform as a community?
