PERCEPTION OMNIFOLD: Aug 21- Sep 22, 2023 About: Jiabao Li’s exhibition ‘Perception Omnifold,’ inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poem, often referred to as, ‘The Mountain' traverses themes ranging from climate change to the investigation of interspecies by merging design, technology, and biology. The interpretation of each artwork from Chthulucene to Once A Glacier is colored by multi-media modes of presentation including AR, AI, VR, and video. Ultimately, Li asks us to question our own perception of the world and how this might be augmented, altered, and curated.
Jiabao Li is originally from Shenyang Chia and is an Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Austin. She holds a Master of Design in Technology from Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore.

Public Blackness II: Artists: Abe Abraham (Abanar Productions LLC.), Courtland Blade, Idris Habib, Ayana Ross, Dread Scott | Jan. 30 - Feb. 24, 2023 About:Public Blackness is an exhibition that spans all three of the Art Galleries at Indiana State University. The aim is to create greater awareness of the on-going and often unresolved local and national racial issues. The show is designed to provide a safe platform where ISU students and the broader community can learn, engage, and be inspired to take positive action to help heal and transform outdated and unconscious biases. Public Blackness demonstrates how the Black body in a racially divided society gradually disappears from our understanding of what it means to be a human. What transpires when the Black body is captured in our gaze—a gaze that has been trained to only view it as a problem everywhere it exists? What happens when the myths from our past—which were frequently used to justify its destruction—become ingrained in our imagination of its existence today? One should leave the exhibition knowing a bit more about what makes the Black body vulnerable to the violence it still endures today.
