Multidisciplinary artist Jose Torres Tama will offer a “Gallery Talk” for
his current solo exhibition entitled “Images from the Kaliyuga: The Age
of Conflict,” which has been on view at the Ashé Cultural Arts Center.
This body of work exploring social themes, the current state of war, and the
struggle for spiritual concerns in a culture steeped in violence, spans three
decades of mixed media works on paper, from the 80’s, 90’s, and recent works
of the new millennium.
“As a sort of closing for this exhibit, we wanted to offer the public an opportunity
to learn more about a body of work where politics and art converge,” said Tama.
The exhibition is supported through Ashé’s visual arts programs.
For more information call: (504) 569-9070.
