SUMMARY:I AM A Writer: Zahra Ali Solo Exhibition - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Painting to Zahra is solving puzzles in her brain. It gives her a sense of power as she \ncan attempt to control the world around her. This realization came at an early age. As \nsuch\, her combination of cultural experiences manifests as layers and colors in her \nwork. \nShe grew up in Karachi\, Pakistan with a population of over 15 million. In this urban \nmetropolis\, storytelling was iconographed on public buses. Buses are more than a mode \nof transport for passengers; they are a joyous sight to passers-by that share a story. In a \nsystem where bus drivers own their buses\, drivers would decorate the bus exteriors to \nshowcase their ancestral origins with lines of poetry interwoven with ethnic \niconography. \nAfter obtaining a BFA in Painting from Texas State University\, she moved to Houston \nand worked as an artist. The past decade has been a journey of self-discovery for Zahra. \nShe paints to show the world through her lenses; her likes and dislikes. There are times \nwhen life is celebrated\, and at times she shows life’s dark side with a hint of color. \n“I write with my brush\, each stroke has a story\, and every color represents an emotion. \nThe layers are the chapters\, and I invite you to join me in unfolding my book to read it \ntogether. I used to believe I was not a writer\, only a painter. Recently I had an epiphany \nthat I am both. I write through my paintings. Each painting brings to life a story that has \ntouched me\, made me think\, and I feel needs to be shared with the world.” – Zahra Ali \n  \nFree RSVP: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-am-a-writer-solo-exhibition-by-zahra-ali-tickets-483254295607 \n

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Manifesting: An Analytical Approach to Data Visualization and Story-telling by Lee Carrier
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/manifesting-an-analytical-approach-to-data-visualization-and-story-telling-tickets-326670980697 \nMuch like manifestation\, visualization is the practice of imagining what you want to achieve in the future. As if it were true today. The process of visualizing directs your subconscious to be aware of the end goal you have in mind. While the work in this exhibition align to artist\, Lee Carrier’s mixed media style\, the new series includes influences from the data science field.  \nCoupled with the pursuit of doctoral research\, Carrier uses her quantitative analysis to illustrate the impact of fine arts programs on the social-emotional and academic development of students. Additionally\, the body of work draws inspiration from social scientist and African-American rights activist\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, who took on the complex task of gathering and manually visualizing the lives of Black Americans through 58 visualizations displayed at the award-winning\, “American Negro” exhibition in the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris.  \nRepresenting more than just numbers\, there is a story\, pattern\, and conclusion behind every data. The artwork series\, “Manifesting” takes a collaborative approach to story-telling and visualization to effectively communicate correlations from datasets relative to complex issues within education. The focus of this body of work provides compelling narratives and visualizations to make disaggregated data feel alive\, meaningful and relevant in order to manifest action from target audiences.
