Opening Reception for “Iliumpta”
Crosstown Arts presents an Opening Reception for “Iliumpta” by Michael “Birdcap” Roy in the Galleries at Crosstown Arts.
“Iliumpta”
Iliumpta is a retelling of Homer’s Iliad set in the Southernmost bayous of Mississippi. Named after the county the story takes place in, Iliumpta draws comparisons between masculinity in the American South and the sandaled heroes of yore, often pointing out the weakness in a regional outlook that insists on staying put during hurricanes.

“Days”
“Days” follows the everyday observations of the structures we interact with. The houses become more than just a residence, but become individuals themselves. The shadows start to blur the line of where the walls stop and where a presence might begin.

“Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line”
“Edgewise: Exploring Pattern and Rhythm with Line” by Khara Woods presents a collection of paintings, sculpture and creative devices developed since 2016.
