2nd Friday ArtWalk: Georgie Nakima Installation Reception

Join the Ackland in celebrating Georgie Nakima’s new installation, Pantheress, in our ART& space.

Georgie Nakima is a North Carolina-based multi-disciplinary artist with a focus on public art and the relationship between 2D and 3D space. Georgie’s formal background in life sciences and research inspires her to bridge the network of ecosystems into her work both literally and figuratively, reminding us of the intersectionality of our shared world. This work is rooted in Afrofuturism as an offering to affirm the intergenerational connection and testimony of the Black Diaspora.

During tonight’s 2nd Friday ArtWalk, we will be celebrating with colorful summer drinks, and an assortment of playful popcorn flavors from The Mad Popper. Nakima will be onsite at 7 p.m. to meet and greet.

Join us for a fun and vibrant evening honoring Georgie Nakima and welcoming the the installation to our community.

RSVP is required. Each person RSVPing may claim a drink ticket (non-alcoholic or alcoholic); ID will be checked at the bar.
