“Biomythography: Secret Poetry and Hidden Angers” is a new exhibition curated by Jessica Wimbley (MFA 2005). Jessica is also one of several artists exhibiting works in this exhibition.

As defined by Audre Lorde in her seminal piece Zami: A New Spelling of My Name, biomythography combines “elements of history, biography and myth” to highlight the idea of multiple internal and external selves. This exhibition features video, performance, installation, sculpture, photography and two-dimensional mixed media works. It investigates biomythography as a practice in the visual arts. Works by the featured artists juxtapose historical facts, life experiences, pop culture, ritual, mythology, anthropological conjectures and notions of identity.
