Albright College Freedman Gallery Hours:
Tuesday - Friday 9:00AM - 5:00PM and Sunday 1:00 - 4:00PM
The Freedman Gallery has invited Ria Brodell, whose work was exhibited in the gallery’s first national juried exhibition, “Gender Matters/Matters of Gender,” installed in the spring of 2011, to return a decade later to help us celebrate the 10th anniversary of that important and hugely popular show. Brodell’s small but detailed gouache paintings evoke the pictorial pages of painted manuscripts and illustrate the artist’s research capabilities as each person depicted is a little-known queer, nonbinary or transgender hero from decades, if not centuries, long past. Free full-color publications with critical essays for both the 2011 and current exhibits will be available.
• Artist’s Virtual Lecture, Thur., Oct. 7, 4 p.m., via Zoom (registration info: https://events.dudesolutions.com/albright)
