SUMMARY:Miranda Javid: Do You Know You're A Person?
DESCRIPTION:The String Room Gallery is proud to present: \nDo You Know You’re A Person? \nA solo exhibition by Miranda Javid \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, Nov 9\, 4:30-6:30pm with a walk-through by the artist at 5pm. \nIn the String Room Gallery\, Javid will exhibit a collection of drawings\, a new work produced at Wells\, and premiere an animated short film. The film\, titled What Humans Do\, is entirely hand drawn\, created with ink on tracing paper. The piece seeks to examine human-beings in macro—with the goal of understanding what homosapiens share\, rather than in what ways they are fractured. The loose narrative of the film describes an androgynous character’s contemporary existence. In following how the character’s interact with their environment\, the film seeks to examine the extractive as well as restorative aspects of human nature. The accompanying drawings will be a series of abstract works\, collections of repeated hand-drawn shapes that reference Paleolithic marks found in caves around the world. These pieces juxtapose with the narrative of the film\, serving as a reminder of human-need to trace their existence by saying ‘I was here.’  \nMiranda Javid (she/her) is an animator\, curator\, and art-educator with a Masters in Fine Art from the University of California Irvine and a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her animations describe topics like cognitive experience\, human bias\, and the relationship between individuals and their communities. These films have shown nationally and internationally at festivals like the Ann Arbor Film Festival\, Eyeworks Film Festival\, Slamdance\, the Flaherty Seminar\, and Malt Adult. She is a Kenan Fellow\, a Denniston Hill resident\, a Sherman Fairchild grantee\, and a recipient of the Nancy Harrigan Prize\, given through the Baker Artist Fund. Her drawings have been shown at Commune1 in Cape Town\, S Africa\, The Baltimore Museum of Art\, The Mint Museum of Art in North Carolina\, and Vox Populi in Philadelphia\, PA. Currently\, she lives in unceded Munsee territory also known as the Hudson Valley in New York State. \nDo You Know You’re A Person? is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, the Wells College In-Residence Program\, and Visual Arts.
