  • Transcendent – Layla Ali Amar

    Layla Ali Amar she/they I talk to myself through my art. I have difficulty understanding how I feel, so my art is a map allowing me to explore my emotions safely. I believe we live in a state of instantaneous repetition. Each version of myself is always alive in a moment of singularity. My art is a pathway that reaches through these isolated frames and creates a communicative vessel. My intense layering and movement of color is a reach into the subconscious and rarely involves an active assertion of myself. I bring back a magical, colorful sense of self by reaching into these intangible states. Layla Amar (b.1998) is a…

  • Press Here: Atlanta Printmakers Process 2020

    The Dalton Gallery at Agnes Scott College partnered with the Atlanta Printmakers Studio to bring together 15 artists for an exhibition on view in Spring 2021. It is undeniable that 2020 was an unprecedented year, the effects of which we cannot yet understand. The pandemic and the resulting economic chaos have been stressful, devastating, unnerving, and exhausting. As the number of cases in the US briefly appeared to go down, focus shifted to police brutality and oppression of Black bodies with the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police coming so quickly after the murders of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. This centuries-old persecution brought millions of people out into…

  • Searching for Home Video Exhibition Exploration

    http://daltongallery.agnesscott.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Searching-for-Home-Final.-SD-540p.mp4 This year, more than ever, the search for home feels especially relevant. Is home now a place for business, schooling our children and family time? Is our current home ideal or just temporary? Searching for home explores the many ways people are contemplating home in 2020. The search for home is a journey that we all find ourselves on in life. In this video tour of our fall exhibition hear four artists from the exhibition, the College’s Director of Sustainability and three Agnes Scott College professors of anthropology, sociology, and culture discuss the ideas of home.
