This week I share the Exhibition Overview for the University of Guyana’s Fine Art students’ exhibition Echoes of Resilience currently on at the National Gallery of Art, Castellani House. The last day of the exhibition is tomorrow, Monday, August 19, 2024. The exhibition’s opening reception on August 8 and its paraphernalia were sponsored by ExxonMobil, Guyana.
Before sharing the overview in the following paragraphs, I note that the works of the graduating students evidence conceptual and technical maturity; boldness in forms, materials, and content; and greater clarity of the ideological basis of their works over that which they shared at last year’s exhibition. The continued professionalisation of their practice is hoped for. Similar progress is hoped for with the junior students whose work will soon be foregrounded in next year’s exhibition.
