The artist talk will begin at 2pm with the reception to follow.\nPlease RSVP\n  \nOn display will be a collaborative exploration of Blackness and Black representation through AI-generated images created by artist\, McArthur Freeman II\, and sociologist\, Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman. This exhibition invites viewers to engage in the act of collective dreaming as a social intervention\, which moves beyond the reality of the present world to (re)-imagine and discover new ways of seeing and being. Inspired by Black speculative fiction and Afro-Futurism\, the project offers viewers interactive opportunities to question\, inspire\, and escape by engaging the viewers’ own imaginations in the co-construction of the future and alternate worlds. \n\nFeatured Artists\n \n \n \n \n \n McArthur Freeman\n \n Posted on December 21\, 2022 by Creative Pinellas \n McArthur Freeman II is a visual artist and designer whose work explores hybridity and the construction of identity. His works have ranged from surreal narrative paintings and drawings to digitally constructed sculptural objects and animated 3D scenes. His most recent works combine three interrelated emerging technologies: digital sculpting\, 3D scanning\, and 3D printing.
