Join us for an artist and curator talk exploring Animal Bodies: The Works of Elana Herzog, Jean Shin, and Brigitta Váradi, curated by Yasmeen Siddiqui of Minerva Projects. Through textiles, pattern, and material transformation, the exhibition examines connections between wild and settled worlds, inviting viewers to consider how design and manufacturing shape our relationship to the natural environment. This intimate conversation offers insight into the artists’ panoramic approaches and the ideas that connect their work.

This exhibition is organized by ACC and Minerva Projects with funding from the Athens Community Foundation and ACC members. The Athens Cultural Center’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. This exhibition is made possible in part with public funds from the Greene County Legislature through the Greene County Cultural Fund, administered by CREATE Council on the Arts.
