“our wife”

Artist Talk at Casa Artom:
Wednesday May 22, 6:00pm (refreshments provided)

Professor Maria Ogedengbe’s installation “our wife” is now on display at Casa Artom, Wake Forest University’s study abroad center in Venice, Italy. The 20-yard-long painting project is a musing on a women’s hand-printed batik head-scarf (gélé) from a Nigerian wedding “uniform” and relates to the theme of this year’s Venice Biennale: “Foreigners Everywhere.” Students at Wake Forest University assisted with the project which has received support through the Dean’s Office and Interdisciplinary Arts Center. Casa Artom welcomes Wake Forest University community & friends in Venice to attend a reception with a short artist’s talk & refreshments on Wednesday, May 22 from 6:00pm – 7:15 pm.
