Death Planted a Garden

September 6 - October 20, 2024

About The Exhibit 

Twenty-two Triangle-based artists traverse seascapes, dreamscapes, space-scapes, and soundscapes that span—out, up, inward, and underground—from the moment of a death. Visual, sound, literary, and multidisciplinary creators explore their lived experiences of loss: loss of a loved one, a culture, an identity, a pet, a neighborhood, a potted fern, a coral reef. How do these deaths connect us to rage, to echo, to breath, to hauntology, to the yellow Dollar General Sign on a hill once-wooded?
