CONVERGENCE

November 15, 2022 - December 22, 2022

MITIMCo, 238 Main Street, Cambridge, MA

Join us for Convergence, an immersive, art pop-up exhibition at 238 Main Street, Cambridge, MA that explores connection and convergence – the convergence of disparate materials, unexpected combinations, and the weaving together of stories. The installation, brought to life through the collaborative vision of Boston-based art advisory firms avec and art_works, creates a space for togetherness, a meeting point for creative expression, storytelling, and celebration. The artwork on view spotlights local artists and responds to the space’s architecture and surrounding environment for a one-of-a-kind experience available to everyone. Live programming, ranging from workshops to performances, will be scheduled to take place for the run of the exhibition.

Convergence features a group of artists local to Cambridge working in the community, including: Sophia Ainslie, Adria Arch, Elisa H. Hamilton, Madeleine Lord, Kitauna Parker, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, Gupi Ranganathan, Jason Talbot, and Curtis Williams.

The exhibition will also feature temporary installations and spatial activations by Cyrille Conan, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, Uzo Ngwu, Jason Talbot, and Curtis Williams.
