Power/Play - Opening Reception

  • Twelve Gates Arts 106 North 2nd Street Philadelphia, PA, 19106 United States (map)

OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, March 15, 2024 — 6:00 - 8:00P ET

Power / Play presents the works of four artists, Sophia Balagamwala, Noormah Jamal, Jagdeep Raina, and Hardeep Pandhal, to consider the immediacy of illustration and animation and their capacity to subvert systems of power. Though historically, these mediums have been taken up by states and military regimes for propaganda, or to indoctrinate children, they have also been used for dissent– to confront, mock, satirize, and disrupt oppressive social constructs and political narratives.
