Of Sibyls and Source Opening Reception
Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges & Ruptures is an exhibition of videos, textiles, installations, and live performances that investigate ideas surrounding oracles, land, community, mapping and geo-mythic space. Together, the artists tell stories and create experiences that invite alternative ways of being with each other and place.
Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges & Ruptures is a collection of work made in dialogue with the sites of Monti Sibillini National Park, Umbria, Italy, and Acadia National Park. These creative gestures tenderly explore the possibility in timespace for mountains to kiss, for springs to flow through each other, and for horizons to merge.
Join us for the Exhibition Opening on Thursday February 5th from 5:30pm – 7:30pm in the Crewe Center for the Arts Great Hall Gallery. This event is free and open to the public.

Susan Bickford (Newcastle, ME)
