INSTINCT II: FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
March 16 ? May 1, 2018
Main Gallery
6-8pm

The Current Gallery is pleased to present Instinct II: From Darkness to Light, an investigation into the dichotomies of concepts related to life and death, good and evil, love and hate, hope and despair and struggle and victory, to name a few. By juxtaposing these narratives, symbolically described as ?darkness? and ?light?, this exhibition interprets writings from Genesis Chapter 1 vs 1-3: The Beginning:

God called the light ?day,? and the darkness he called ?night.? And there was evening, and there was morning ? the first day.?
Instinct II: From Darkness to Light showcases new works by ten female artists, including Nadine Seymour-Munroe, Ana-Lisa Wells, Chantal Bethel, Claudette Dean, Jessica Colebrooke, Leanne Russell, Lillian Blades, Lisa Codella, Sue Bennett-Williams and Sue Katz. Each artist has illustrated their particular responses to the duplicities of life and how they inherently create balance.

ROOTED: An Exploratory Celebration of Blackness, Hair and Womanhood
March 16 ? April 16
The Current Lounge
6-8pm

The Current: Baha Mar Studios is also pleased to present Rooted: An Exploratory Celebration of Blackness, Hair and Womanhood, a pop-up exhibition with works by Bahamian Artist Gio Swaby that celebrate a type of self-love and appreciation within black women communities. This series of stitched female portraits on canvas attempt to illustrate an exchange of cultural information related to hair-care. Hair care is an extensive, meaningful and necessary method of self-love, through which black women celebrate themselves and each other. It highlights the narrative of a union of individuals who have needed to fiercely love and support one another through historical turmoil. With black familial history being mutilated by slavery, hair-care serves as a means to reclaim these networks.
