Art Exhibit: Visible / Invisible. How silence is a tool of violence allowing it to blossom and grow.
Juried Exhibit Curated by Indira Johnson, Fran Joy and Lisa Degliantoni
February 4 - March 18, 2022 @ Noyes Cultural Arts Center, Second Floor Gallery
Multi-disciplinary works are on display from a wide range of artists, who were asked to consider what kinds of violence are made visible and gain widespread public attention and what is excluded and remains invisible. From sculpture to painting to audio submissions, the diversity of art artists and mediums are impactful in the way they address this difficult topic, pervasive in our culture. More than 50 artists are participating, see full list below, and we invite you to see this event in person, February 4 - March 18, 2022 @ Noyes Cultural Arts Center, Second Floor Gallery, 927 Noyes St.
This exhibit and programs are sponsored in part by a grant made available by the Evanston Arts Council.

Visible Invisible explores invisible violence as it manifests itself in everyday life, in our homes, schools, workspaces and media. It brings together artists' voices and viewpoints to investigate the roots of this subversive invisible violence tracing its historical and cultural origins through language, identity related issues, representation, fluctuating socio-economic conditions and long held beliefs.
While violence has become endemic to our lives, globally, nationally and in our neighborhoods, the invisible aspects of violence remain hidden, existing behind the highly visible public incidents.
The theme of invisible violence is not new as can be seen from the increased incidents of emotional and mental abuse and the socio-economic legacy that is all around us. Visible and Invisible will explore the tangible effects of invisible violence as it manifests itself in everyday life, in our homes, schools, workspaces and media. It will bring together artists' voices and viewpoints to investigate the roots of this subversive invisible violence tracing its historical and cultural origins through language, identity related issues, representation, fluctuating socio-economic conditions and long held beliefs.
How has popular culture provided a structure that has contributed to the lack of attention and resources to fight invisible violence.
