Guest curated by curatorial collective Triptych Arts, this exhibition looks at the different codices of Black folk magic and its widespread international iterations that continue to challenge Eurocentric modernist binaries.

This exhibition of new and existing work by Elsa María Meléndez (Caguas, PR 1974) explores the intersection of political and personal identity. Through large-scale fabric constructions, as well as small-scale dioramas that the artist calls “theaters”, the narrative spaces Meléndez creates tell stories that document the uncertainty one experiences while living in Puerto Rico, an “Island of Confusion.”

Thursdays, 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. Instructor: Kyle Miller In this Thursday night beginners’ ceramics class, instructor Kyle Miller guides students through introductory handbuilding techniques – pinch pot, slab, coil, and beginner sculpture – to create functional ceramic ware. 

Based in New York City, Akiko Ichikawa is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and editor. Ichikawa's work, existing as performance, installation, and art.net, has been exhibited in The Hague Berlin; Philadelphia; Washington DC; Newark; St. Paul, Minnesota; and Incheon, South Korea.

Sally Heller is a multi-material based artist who creates recognizable yet improbable landscapes constructed from cultural detritus. A modern-day bricoleur, savvy cultural hacker and urban archaeologist, Heller assembles a litany of mundane materials and cultural castoffs into recognizable yet improbable environments that cleverly fuse macro and micro, architectural and organic, artifice and nature.

With a new site-specific installation titled EX-Tabula RASA, New Orleans-based artist Sally Heller takes over the back galleries at ACAC. Join us for the opening of this exhibition during November Artwalk at 6 p.m. and meet the artist.
