・・・
Twelve Gates Arts is proud to present our new exhibit Power/Play, curated by Ambika Trasi, opening on Friday, March 15th, 2024.

Power/Play presents the works of four artists, Sophia Balagamwala, Noormah Jamal, Jagdeep Raina, and Hardeep Pandhal, to consider the immediacy of illustration and animation and their capacity to subvert systems of power. Though historically, these mediums have been taken up by states and military regimes for propaganda, or to indoctrinate children, they have also been used for dissent– to confront, mock, satirize, and disrupt oppressive social constructs and political narratives.

Join us on March 15th from 6-8P ET for our opening reception! The Twelve Gates Gallery if located at 106 N 2nd St, Philadelphia, PA.

GALLERY HOURS: Thu & Fri: 11 – 5, Sat: 11-4

Power/Play will be on view until May 18th.
