Nekisha Durrett

An award-winning Washington, D.C.-based artist, Nekisha Durrett explores the history of unfamiliar objects and places, using cast-off materials as witnesses to the passage of time. Creating monuments to the power of memory, Durrett engages in storytelling and a poetic study of language. Before and Still is a large-scale installation that transforms the commonplace into the monumental while summoning subject matter that is often overlooked in visual culture.

Reception: September 7, 5-7 pm
