Opening Reception Details:
On Friday, February 4th from 6 - 8 pm IA&A at Hillyer will host an opening reception for Reality Check: The Work of Anna U Davis. Davis’s work is comprised of bold and colorful multimedia that investigate gender inequality, racial discrimination, and climate change. Wine and light refreshments will be provided.

About the Artist: Exhibition Overview:
Anna U Davis is known for her bold, colorful mixed-media work, where she explores social inequalities. Reality Check investigates the concept of diffusion of responsibility in regards to pressing global issues. Diffusion of responsibility is a socio-psychological phenomenon whereby an individual assumes that other people are responsible for taking necessary action. In Reality Check, Davis juxtaposes mixed media paintings depicting diffusion of responsibility with works investigating gender inequality, racial discrimination, and climate change. The work addresses our unwillingness to listen, our resistance to speak up, and our inability to see the imminent consequences of our indifference.

All visitors all required to show proof of vaccination and wear masks in accordance COVID-19 guidelines. A limit of 25 people will be allowed at one time.
