January 28 – April 2
Exhibition – Codes of Silence
Richmond Art Gallery
7700 Minoru Gate
Within the public arena, the voice is necessarily considered an important social and cultural vehicle for the expression of untold stories, collective identities, and political causes. In contrast, the idea of the elimination of the voice is typically associated, for example, with acts of censorship or the suppression of marginalized oral histories. With a focus on video, Codes of Silence radically overturns this illusory binary with artworks where the voice is muted, obscured, withheld or unexplained in ways that cultivate quietness, interiority, intimacy, and community.
