LOCUS:V by Founder and Curator Whitney LaMora
The fifth iteration of this anonymously paired artistic exhibition. Twenty-two brand new artists and two LOCUS alum come together for Locus V. The artists are located all over the country and the world including Chicago, New Mexico, Georgia, Berlin, London, Vancouver and beyond! A lot of distanced, virtual magic happened over nine weeks to bring this show to life.
During this round: visual artists provided a work either already existing or one that they created for the show. From there, our literary artists received the work, made a reaction video and then over the course of three weeks, wrote a complementary literary work. Our visual artists then got the magic of seeing the response and also filmed their own reaction videos.
Until opening night, all pairings remained anonymous. The artists were given the work sans title or author and were only shared their partner’s pronouns and the core work itself. I can’t wait for you to see how much can be made with so little information. Enjoy the show here.

Arts Engine MICRO GRANT RECIPIENT: Stephanie brown
This exhibit challenges the psychological decisions we make as we construct our identities pulling from dominant media, the judgement of our communities, and self-affirming family values, or lack thereof.
