Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the Opening Reception for Artists Anne Samat and Yanira Collado on Thursday, February 16, 2023 in the Grand Lobby.

Join us for a reception celebrating the opening of our spring exhibitions featuring works by Anne Samat and Yanira Collado. In her fiber-based reliefs, Malaysian artist Samat meticulously juxtaposes beadwork and traditional South Asian weaving techniques with common items, a project that questions the boundaries of craft and art. In the face of inevitable change and displacement, memories find a home in the relic. Collado explores the ideas of migration, reliquary, and memory through construction and ritual.

Complimentary drinks and light hors d'oeuvres will be served.

Admission is free and all are welcome.

Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech is located at 330 Turner Street NW in Blacksburg, VA.
