RISING TIDES

Art Exhibit

March 6 – April 28

BARCLAY SHEAKS GALLERY | HOFHEIMER LIBRARY

Many neighborhoods in Coastal Virginia that have long suffered from the effects of redlining, exclusionary zoning, discriminatory lending, public housing policy, highway construction, hotter summer temperatures, and underfunded public schools are now some of the same communities that are most vulnerable to the impacts of recurrent flooding. As flooding in these communities increases, so do tensions surrounding socio-economic inequalities. Created by local artist Renee Calway, the Rising Tides, Rising Tensions exhibit reflects on positive aspects of our region, as well as stories of historic injustice that continue to impact marginalized communities throughout Hampton Roads.
