Join Metro State University’s Gordon Parks Gallery for the opening reception for Favorable Conditions: New Work by Eyenga Bokamba, a vibrant and emotionally resonant exhibition curated by Minneapolis-based independent curator and arts leader Esther Callahan.

Favorable Conditions features a new body of work by multidisciplinary artist Eyenga Bokamba, whose practice merges Abstract Expressionism with the immersive, conceptual strategies of installation art. Working through a visual language centered on color, gesture, and emotional resonance, Bokamba explores the relationship between joy, embodiment, and the conditions—internal and external—that allow individuals and communities to flourish.

The opening reception takes place Thursday, January 29, from 5 to 7:30 p.m., with remarks at 6 p.m. This event is free and open to the community.
