SUMMARY:Our Living Record at Revolve Gallery
DESCRIPTION:A multimedia exhibit honoring queer and trans archives\, memory\, and resistance \nAsheville\, NC – Our Living Record\, a new exhibition from Southern Equality Studios – – the art program of The Campaign for Southern Equality\, on view starting July 10 through August 17\, 2025 at Revolve Gallery (821 Riverside Dr. Asheville\, NC 28801). This vibrant and deeply personal show features artwork from Southern LGBTQ+ community members and allies who explore preserving queer memory in the face of cultural erasure. \nThe exhibition includes photography\, sculpture\, projection\, ephemera\, and participatory archival interactive installations. Each piece reflects how personal objects\, imagery\, and memories connect to the broader story of LGBTQ+ resilience\, resistance\, and joy. \n“Queer and trans histories are often fragmented or excluded from dominant narratives\,” says curator Liz Williams. “Our Living Record asks: what happens when we tell our stories ourselves—through our photos\, our letters\, our zines\, our everyday rituals? This exhibition is a gathering of those fragments. A way to say: we were here\, we are here and we will sustain and remain.” \nFeatured artists include:\nLenny Kyriakoulis\, Kass Patterson \, Daniel Simone\, Crain Cutler\, Eduardo Moraes de Oliveira Barbosa\, Amanda Simons\, Lindsay Jones\, and Jeannie Regan \nThe exhibition also includes community-sourced materials\, family snapshots\, protest signs\, and objects from queer everyday life. An Archival Activation Event will take place on July 30\, featuring storytelling\, readings\, an interactive archive activation for WNC LGBTQIA+ Archive Project. \nArtists and community members were asked to submit personal photos\, letters\, or historical ephemera that could be projected onto them during their portrait session—creating an image that literally places history on the body. Each participant also sat for a filmed interview sharing why their items matter\, what stories need to be preserved\, and what message they want to pass on to future generations. \nOur Living Record is supported by Southern Equality Studios\, a project of the Campaign for Southern Equality. Revolve Gallery is located at 821 Riverside Drive #179 in Asheville’s River Arts District. Admission is free and open to the public during gallery hours. \nFor interviews\, press images\, or event information\, please contact Liz Williams at liz@southernequality.org.

SUMMARY:Bindings Art Exhibit with Randy Siegel at North Asheville Library
DESCRIPTION:Scraps of fabric\, rope\, string\, wire\, and thread\, along with obsessive stitching and often beading\, obscure and obstruct hidden aspects of self often too painful to acknowledge and to beautiful to ignore. With each wrap\, knot\, and stitch\, the creative process has been a mediation and ritual—a holy sacrament of confession\, absolution\, and integration as shadow aspects of self are brought to light\, acceptance\, and love.

SUMMARY:FILM SCREENING: Artists and the Unknown
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Artists and the Unknown\, a selection of documentary films by Art21. These films—five in total\, making up an hour-long program—explore the work of artists who use randomness\, mystery\, and unknowability to try to answer some of life’s biggest questions. Featured artists include Linda Goode Bryant\, Sarah Sze\, Rose B. Simpson\, Josephine Halvorson\, and Michael Rakowitz. The screening is free to attend and open to all. Pre-registration helps us plan for the right amount of guests\, but is not required. You can pre-register using the button above. \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Art21. For more information\, visit art21.org. \n“What does the ‘unknown’ mean? It is something we encounter in ways big and small every day of our lives. It appears when we wake up and wonder what the day holds\, as we watch the world around us change\, develop\, and decay\, and in our risks\, dreams\, and curiosities. The unknown can appear unexpectedly\, at any time\, and with myriad forms and faces. What do we do with that information? At Art21\, we look to artists.” \nThese five films capture engaging\, inspiring\, and stimulating conversations that explore encounters with the unknown. Featuring the works and words of groundbreaking contemporary artists\, this collection serves as a guide and a companion in your own encounters with unknowability.
