BEMIDJI — A new exhibit “Clans Gather” in the Miikanan Gallery at Watermark Art Center will feature multi-discipline artist Chholing Taha.
The exhibit opens Friday, May 26, and runs through Aug. 12. A reception with Taha will be 2-4 p.m. June 17.
“Taha’s art strives for us to focus our lenses, just as she focuses her lens through her very practice,” a news release stated. “Hers is a holistic artistic practice striving to communicate and commune with her own heritage and experience, at the same time encouraging others to find understanding and resonance with their own lived and inherited experience.”
Taha said “Clans Gather” was created as an acknowledgement that all life is interconnected.
“The greatest power we have is when we interconnect as one on all levels of life, from prayers, being human, admiring the dragonfly to knowing where we stand within the star systems,” Taha stated.
Images of her work will be available online at WatermarkArtCenter.org after May 26.
There is no charge to attend the reception. Watermark galleries are free and open to the public 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, located at 505 Bemidji Ave. N. in Bemidji.
