The Pearl City Clay House will host a public reception Saturday, Nov. 8, to open its next gallery exhibition, “What Are You?” by artist and anthropologist Fileve Tlaloc (Palmer).

The exhibition is presented with assistance from an SLFX Fellowship. A public reception will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8, with a brief artist talk at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Tlaloc is a multigenerational, Creole-South African-American artist and trained anthropologist who has lived and worked among the Haudenosaunee for more than 15 years. Born and raised in New York City, she brings a unique perspective to her work, blending historical inquiry with artistic expression. Her practice centers on the representation of human and animal forms, using cultural symbols to reflect relationships and explore the emotional and physical conditions of human struggle between power and peace, injustice and freedom, and across intersections of race, geography, gender, and nature.

“We’re pleased to welcome Fileve and her work to the Pearl City Clay House gallery,” said Deb Eck, program director at Pearl City Clay House. “Each exhibition offers an opportunity to showcase unique creative voices within our community.”

The Pearl City Clay House is located at 220 E. Second St., Jamestown, and is a program of Infinity Visual and Performing Arts Inc.
