Electric Arches

Blending stark realism with the surreal and fantastic, Eve L. Ewing's narrative takes us from the streets of 1990s Chicago to an unspecified future, deftly navigating the boundaries of space, time, and reality. Ewing imagines familiar figures in magical circumstances, and identifies everyday objects - hair moisturizer, a spiral notebook - as precious icons.

Her visual art is spare, playful, and poignant: a cereal box decoder ring that allows the wearer to understand what Black girls are saying; a teacher's angry, subversive message scrawled on the chalkboard. Electric Arches invites fresh conversations about race, gender, the city, identity, and the joy and pain of growing up.

Amestecand realismul strict cu suprarealistul si fantasticul, naratiunea Evei L. Ewing ne duce de pe strazile Chicago din anii 1990 catre un viitor nespecificat, navigand cu indemanare in limitele spatiului, timpului si realitatii.
