Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts

Painting is alive in Brooklyn, as this cornucopia of eye-opening canvasses shows. This exhibit features eight painters who live and work in Brooklyn, N.Y. Over the years Brooklyn, rather than Manhattan, has become the location of choice for New York artists due to its more affordable studio and living space. The paintings in the exhibit, selected by Bryan Gallery director Cynthia Farnell, include Marci MacGuffie's Illuminating the Blind Spot, which has been shown at the Goff + Rosenthal Gallery in Berlin.

Volunteer Services and
the Honors Program presents

Redemption
Presented by Amir Soltani
Sunday, Nov. 15, 6:30 p.m.

Wall Auditorium
E. Craig Wall Sr. College
of Business Administration

Redemption is a documentary film about homelessness and recycling in West Oakland, Calif. in the 21st century. The film explores the connections between poverty, culture and the environment. Who defines and controls space in a modern city? Where does a marginalized group of recyclers fit within such a landscape? And what role can a rag-tag army of homeless recyclers play in shifting our perceptions about the culture we live in.
 
Amir Soltani, a writer and activist who observes the homeless, says, "This film is not an art form, but a life form where a community can reconnect and solve a problem none of us can solve alone. Redemption doesn't just mean redeeming cans and bottles, it's about redeeming people’s lives."

Admission: Free
