Galveston Arts Center presents Nastassja Swift’s exhibition, "Canaan: When I Read Your Letter, I Feel Your Voice," which will open in conjunction with Galveston ArtWalk.
Swift’s multi-layered installation and collaborative performance intimately displays the exchange between the artist and her brother, who is currently incarcerated within the Virginia Department of Corrections. This exhibition is presented in partnership with the inaugural Black Box Press Foundation Art as Activism Fund.
Following the opening day, the exhibit will be on display through October 3.
