On Thursday, February 2nd, Queens University of Charlotte saw the opening of our most recent gallery exhibition in the Sarah Belk Gambrell Center for the Arts and Civic Engagement: “ENGAGE US! Art for Social Change.” This exhibition centers Charlotte-based Latin-American artists and activists, presenting a vibrant and contemporary gallery of mixed-media work that incorporates both art and technology.
Featured artists include Irisol Gonzalez, Rosalia Torres-Weiner, Edwin Gil, and Nico Amortegui, each of whom investigated their artistic themes and processes in conversation facilitated by moderator and curator Dr. Siu Challons-Lipton, alongside her co-hosts, Astrid Bridgwood (Art History major), Madison Webster (Studio Art major), and Emma Henry (Arts Leadership & Administration major). Each student has served as a Gallery Assistant this semester, assisting in the hanging and curation of the exhibit and utilizing their diverse study of the arts to provide engaging and unique questions for the panel.
