belonging to place: The Creative Community & Artistic Legacy of bell hooks, guest curation by E. Gale Greenlee and shauna caldwell @ Turchin Center for the Visual Arts (Boone, NC)

For many of the artists featured in this exhibition, their time in Appalachia continues to shape, ground, and show up in their work. For others, their connection to the region lies squarely with bell. The work here documents the complicated process of coming to see and belong to a place often exploited and marginalized. Together, the artists elevate and contribute to familial and collective histories that find sanctuary in conversation with land, our own imaginative processes, and the interwoven communities we are a part of. Their work reaches across time, space, and geography to pollinate one another, and us, as they build upon the legacy of the artists represented at the bell hooks Institute. For more information, please visit the website.
