Join curators Jacqueline Francis, Kathy Zarur, and MoAD’s Docents for a discussion of Where Is Here!‍

Where Is Here evokes the real and conceptual space through which we travel. The exhibition presents the works of contemporary artists who are developing personal and engaged visual and musical systems to claim, make, and describe space. The imagery is both straightforward and poetic.
