This exhibit will feature multimedia installations by Sylvia Eken and Sarah Stefana Smith. Eken’s installation, TRADING CITIES, seeks communal, cultural, and intellectual impact by encouraging action through visual and textual forms. Smith’s Ten Forms Make A Village is premised on the planned community of Columbia, Maryland, and the challenges of integration, it was said to address.

In response to a culture saturated with devices that distance, digitize, and disembody, the artists in Compulsory Measures embrace repetition and ritual as mindful strategies to ascertain meaning.
