ArtistTalk: November 11, 2026African American Cultural Center Gallery, North Carolina State UniversityYou Are Here: Geolocating the Self through the Familiar in the Midst of the Unfamiliar
Digital humanist and creative storyteller ariana Farquharson debuts the satellite exhibition, You Are Here: Geolocating the Self Through the Familiar in the Midst of the Unfamiliar, at NC State University’s African American Cultural Center Gallery. Created in conversation with Gregg Museum of Art & Design and Maya Freelon’s immersive installation Grounded, the exhibition features 2D prints, 3D prints, and animations of AI-generated abstract forms called “diasporic wayfields.”
Through ancestral notions of inherited and inhabited fluidity and critical collective reflection, You Are Here invites visitors to locate self and home in the post-pandemic “new world.” In doing so, ariana expands Freelon’s exploration of her own origins.
In collaboration with The Gregg Museum of Art and Design and Artist-in-Residence Maya Freelon's "Grounded" Exhibition. Learn more
