Wednesday, Nov. 9
4:30 p.m.

Hiding in plain sight in the science labs, grappling over civilization’s greatest challenges are Young Nerds of Color. Some speak with the poetry of wise sages, others subvert the establishment with renegade ways, and, finally, there are rock stars whose ideas flow like jazz improvisation—all changing the world like a bolt of lightning illuminating the night sky. If knowledge is power, their powers make them superheroes. Playwright Melinda Lopez weaves together over 60 interviews with scientists from the most underrepresented backgrounds, with original music by Nona Hendryx.

Reception November 15, 2022 from 4:30-6pm

The three photographers in this show each use the camera to probe at the interior and underlying content of the subject matter they shoot. Bob Alter’s frontally framed exteriors of houses explore the complexity of aspiration and striving. Ashley McDowell’s portraits of her family use light and shadow to highlight the inner workings of human relationships. And Leslie Starobin’s close-up photographs of both indigenous and non-native tree trunks, with bark weathered by age and wood swelling with disease, mirror the human condition.
