SUMMARY:The UNinformed states of america art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Uninformed States of America\n\n\n\nSolo Exhibition by Matthew Troyer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 28 – February 1\, 2025\n\n\n\n Reception: Friday\, January 31st | 6-8p\n\n\n\nMore About The Uninformed States of America   \n\n\n\nThe Uniformed States of America explores the commodification of military surplus garments\, examining how items once used in warfare have become symbols within American consumer culture. These garments\, designed initially for survival on the battlefield\, now carry new meanings as they are bought\, sold\, and worn in everyday life. They reflect a complex narrative of national identity\, nostalgia\, and militarization that continues to shape American society. \n\n\n\nThrough documenting military surplus stores\, I capture more than just the physical items\, I explore how these spaces reflect cultural tensions. For some\, these garments represent patriotism\, solidarity\, or a connection to an idealized past. For others\, they raise questions about the militarization of civilian life and the systems of power they symbolize. The presence of military and police memorabilia in these stores can evoke a sense of pride for some. In contrast\, for others\, it stirs discomfort and raises critical questions about authority and power.​ \n\n\n\nThe Uniformed States of America invites viewers to question the more profound cultural and ideological implications of wearing and consuming military surplus. These items\, now symbols of both reverence and critique\, challenge us to reflect on the evolving relationship between consumerism\, militarization\, and American identity. \n\n\n\nMore About Matthew Troyer  \n\n\n\nMatthew Troyer (b. 1988) is an American artist\, educator\, and former U.S. Marine Corps Combat Photographer. Specializing in documentary photography\, Troyer critically examines the lasting impact of war on individuals\, communities\, and culture. Drawing on his experiences as a veteran\, his work explores the intersections of war\, memory\, identity\, and consumer culture\, using a multifaceted approach to explore narratives that shape America’s understanding of conflict and its legacy. \n\n\n\nTroyer received his BFA\, with honors\, in Photography and Imaging from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2022 and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024. He is currently a Part-Time Lecturer at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. \n\n\n\nwww.troyermatthew.com \n\n\n\n@matthewtroyer \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Gallery Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday – Friday\, 12 -5 PM \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2-5PM

SUMMARY:back home art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Back Home \n\n\n\nSolo Student Exhibition by Zainab Adamou-Mohamed\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 28 – February 1\, 2025\n\n\n\n Reception: Friday\, January 31st | 6-8p\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMore About Back Home \n\n\n\nBack Home is a collection of archival and original photographs taken by my parents and I during trips to the West African countries of Niger and Nigeria in 2008\, 2022\, and 2024. This exhibition is an exploration of the concept of home and memory through the lens of those returning and visiting home. \n\n\n\nI was born in the US to parents who immigrated from Niger in the early 2000s. My extended family resides in Niger\, including the cities of Niamey and Zinder. The majority of my father’s family resides in the northern Nigerian city of Kano. \n\n\n\nAs I look back on these photos\, questions surrounding the concept of memory and home frequently arise. \n\n\n\nWhat does it mean to remember a place as someone who grew up there versus someone who didn’t? What is the relationship between the people in these photos as they exist today and who they were in the moment the image was made? How do the images we choose to capture influence the memories we keep? \n\n\n\nThe curation and arrangement of these street scenes\, family gatherings\, and intimate portraits are a means of exploring those questions. Through my personal story of my family’s journey back home\, I invite viewers to examine their own definitions of memory\, family\, and homecoming. \n\n\n\nMore About Zainab Adamou-Mohamed \n\n\n\nZainab Adamou-Mohamed was born in 2003 in Greensboro\, North Carolina. She is currently pursuing her BA in Studio Art at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. She has previously been included in Crystallization: An Exhibition of Student Ceramics and Sculpture (2023) at the Greensboro Project Space and the 125.2 volume of The Coraddi Art & Literary Magazine (2023). Her creative work explores the areas of culture\, belonging\, disconnect\, and the immigrant experience. \n\n\n\n@photo.by.zam\, @art.by.zam \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGreensboro Project Space Weekly Open Hours: \n\n\n\nTuesday-Friday\, 12:00-5:00pm \n\n\n\nSaturday\, 2:00-5:00pm

SUMMARY:Roomful of Teeth
DESCRIPTION:Roomful of Teeth\n\n\n\nRoomful of Teeth is a two-time Grammy®-Award-winning vocal band dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice. By engaging collaboratively with artists\, thinkers\, and community leaders from around the world\, the group seeks to uplift and amplify voices old and new while creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music. \n\n\n\nIts latest album\, Rough Magic (New Amsterdam Records\, 2023)\, was captured using groundbreaking recording techniques and innovative spatial technology. Roomful of Teeth was recognized at the 66th GRAMMY awards in 2024\, winning Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance for Rough Magic; and composer William Brittelle’s work Psychedelics\, which appears on Rough Magic\, was nominated for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTew Front HallTew Back HallUNCG Students$7.50$7.50UNCG Faculty/Staff$25.00$25.00Adults$50.00$45.00Seniors/Military$40.00$35.00Children (K-12)$25.00$15.00\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n* Tickets to CVPA and UCLS events are sold exclusively through our box office locations and ETix website\, and nowhere else. Tickets purchased through third-party vendors cannot be honored. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounded in 2009 by Brad Wells\, the band was incubated at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) in North Adams\, Massachusetts\, where members studied with some of the world’s top performers and teachers and commissioned composers who were known for breaking molds. They have learned that the boundaries of the human voice are never what they seem\, that rules can be bent\, and broken\, and perhaps they should be. \n\n\n\nAs the world rapidly changes\, Roomful of Teeth is cultivating deeper relationships with technology\, continuing to expand the capabilities of the human voice\, aiming to be unburdened by physical limitations. They are excited about new collaborative projects that are focused on the stories of place\, home\, and community in the diverse environments our planet has provided. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to public presentations\, artists in the UCLS series have important interactions with UNCG students\, such as holding masterclasses\, talkback sessions\, and seminars\, often just hours before performing on stage. Thanks to a grant from The Cemala Foundation\, some of these artists also work with K-12 students in the Guilford County Schools.
