Speak to Me Softly
2024-08-24 - 2024-11-08 | Vision Gallery, 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ, 85225, United States
While some activists advance their ideals using words, the female and non-binary artists in Speak to Me Softly utilize their crafts to address complicated subjects. Using soft materials and methods such as fabric, yarn, and embroidery, the artists spark conversations about queerness, liberation, public health, childhood trauma and other issues we face in our world. Each of these artworks weaves together threads of complicated, often charged, subject matters and calls attention to important, relatable topics that affect us all.

Deities of the South: Marco Albarrán
2024-09-28 - 2024-11-30 | Chandler Center for the Arts, 250 N. Arizona Ave., Chandler, AZ, 85225
Multi-media artist Marco Albarrán has been creating work in the Phoenix Valley for over 30 years. His consistent focus on pre-Conquest indigenous deities and motifs unites his diverse artistic output, which ranges from prints to large sculptures. Through a contemporary lens, Albarrán undermines preconceived notions and vague interpretations of Pre-Colombian histories and offers alternative interpretations within a modern cultural context. Deities of the South examines the roles of ancient sacred deities in a modern world and encourages viewers to consider indigenous perspectives, modular spirituality, and sacred environments.
