Culture Nerds, get ready for a talk by Brenda Mallory, visual/sculpture/mixed media/installation artist and a member of the Cherokee Nation.

Brenda’s mixed media sculptural works are comprised of a variety of materials including cloth, fibers, beeswax, and found objects.  By creating multiple forms that are joined with crude hardware that imply tenuous connections or repairs, her work addresses ideas of interference and disruption in long-established systems of nature and human cultures. Her work is shown often and has been seen at the National Gallery of Art, the Heard Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, and often at the Portland Art Museum.

Space is limited; please be sure to RSVP. As the Culture Nerds group has many events set for the upcoming months, be sure to let us know which event(s) you plan to attend when you RSVP.
