Revolution spins in myriad forms, each turn revealing new facets of resistance, identity, and shared human experience. In this exhibition, three artists - Cristhian Varela, Yaqeen Yamani, and sāgar kāmath - explore the shape of revolution through diverse mediums and personal histories, inviting us to reconsider our understanding of political and cultural transformation.

The Painting Department at the Rhode Island School of Design is thrilled to present In Tandem: The 12 Gates Arts 2024 Residency Show, a group exhibition featuring work by sāgar kāmath, Cristhian Varela, and Yaqeen Yamani. The exhibition is curated by Atif F. Sheikh in partnership with RISD MFA students Cassidy Argo, Mary Connell, Shamira Dharap, Nguyễn Xuân-Lam, Abigail Parsons, and Carrie Wilmarth. In Tandem: The 12 Gates Arts 2024 Residency Show opens on Tuesday November 19, 2024.

Join us for a walkthrough of the exhibition with the artists on November 18th, 6:30-7:30pm followed by the Opening Reception on November 19th, 6-8pm. Both events will take place at Memorial Hall Gallery, 3rd Floor at 226 Benefit Street, Providence, RI 02906.
