Opening Reception of Numinous Pools
Rochester Contemporary Art Center
137 East Ave.
Oct 7, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

RoCo’s Media Room programming returns this First Friday with Numinous Pools, a group exhibition curated by Rachel Poonsiriwong that surfaces ritualistic practices and alternative temporalities in film and video art from around the Great Lakes. In metaphorizing the Great Lakes’ formative processes, this single-channel exhibition is inspired by how time has animated the melting of this region’s ecologies and histories into fluid wholeness. The artists featured in Numinous Pools – Lili Chin, Jacklyn Prasad Das, and Emily Pelstring – use experimental moving image projects to reflect on their cultural backgrounds and numinous realities in contrast to dominant Western values.

Numinous Pools will be played on loop in RoCo’s Media Room – stop by to enjoy refreshments and view the exhibition! Learn more about the artists here, and read the full exhibition text by Rachel Poonsiriwong here.

This exhibition continues through November 12.
