Art Exhibition: Markeith Chavous, ‘the waves and the mantram, part 1′

Emery Community Arts Center proudly presents the North American debut of ‘the waves and the mantram, part 1.’ The exhibit features a multi-channel film installation by Markeith Chavous, media artist, poet and UMF graduate of the class of 2011. ‘the waves and the mantram, part 1‘ is the first in a trilogy of cinematic triptychs that thread together varied narratives, accounts, images, poems and documents of belief and spirituality; and the environments that surround, impact, and inform those beliefs. It is a slate, an elastic model of being. This project debuted in 2023 in Scotland at the Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival’s Exhibitions Programme, and was then subsequently exhibited in South Korea at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA) as part of the Experimental Film & Video 2023 exhibition.  Location: Emery Community Arts Center.
