Earth Odyssey reception

Presented for the first time in this multi-media exhibition is a body of work that Zoe Cinel has been creating since 2018, when they started the process to become a non-resident alien with extraordinary abilities. About their experience, the artist writes, “It is challenging and highly performative. The labor is invisible, the hopes are high, and it takes a village to keep an alien in this country. To cope, I turned it into a journey, wearing the “alienness” as an extraordinary superpower, as a costume to protect my vulnerability. And so began my Earth Odyssey!”

The opening reception for this final show of 2025 takes place in the Gordon Parks Gallery on Thursday, October 30, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., with remarks at 7. Refreshments are served at this free, open to the community event.
