Behind Every Beautiful Thing: Encountering Bodies, Wrestling the Human Condition
Contemporary Arts Center 900 Camp Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130
Following a year so deeply focused on health—mental well-being and physical—this year's annual Open Call exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans presents a deeply personal portrayal of artists' relationships with health and illness in a series of multimedia artworks from thirty-six Gulf South artists.
Throughout the course of the exhibition, visitors can also engage in activations and performances in the Gris Gris Lab inside the CAC's Oval Gallery. Created by "Gris Gris Mama" Gia M. Hamilton, this Afrofuturist Apothecary is designed to ground, shift energy, and prepare the viewer to enter the portal and exhibition. $10; $8 for students. Reserve your admission slot online at cacno.org.
A free opening reception will be held on Saturday, July 31 from 6 pm–10 pm.
