New art exhibit: Soma Creative Technologies MFA exhibition

From: Perspective Gallery

Come view Soma, the new art exhibit on display in the Perspective Gallery.

Soma is a Creative Technologies MFA exhibition by four artists, Tatum Fox, Stella Park, Ahnaf Kabbya, and Lingzhi Yuan (Laney). Their work confronts erasure, translation, and survival across histories shaped by violence, displacement, and marginalization.

Working across sculpture, installation, video, animation, ritual objects, and emerging technologies, the artists engage memory not as a fixed archive but as a living, unstable process-one that is continually rewritten through the body, the subconscious, and acts of making.

Though their works emerge from distinct cultural, geographic, and political contexts, they are united by a shared commitment to revealing what has been suppressed: unnamed lives, silenced histories, fractured identities, and interior worlds that resist dominant narratives.

An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, March 20 from 4-6 p.m., with an Artist Talk at 4:30 p.m. 

The exhibit, reception and artist talk are free and open to the public. 

Soma will be on display from March 17 through May 15.
