A free, public reception and artist talk is scheduled for Friday, September 6 from 5–8 p.m. with the artist talk and Q&A at 5:30 p.m.

LSU School of Art will present Afterglow | Jade Hoyer and Lauren Cardenás from September 6 through October 20, 2024, in Glassell Gallery. This two-artist exhibition and its programming explore identity and belonging in response to the artists’ shared experiences. As women and first-generation Americans whose parents immigrated from Mexico and Philippines respectively, Cardenás and Hoyer use printmaking to explore their sense of double consciousness—a feeling of foreignness in both their ancestral and current homes. The project is structured to place LSU faculty voices “in conversation” with visiting artist peers to bring diverse perspectives on lived experiences, creative practices, and building artistic communities. 

In addition to public programming downtown, visiting artist Jade Hoyer will spend three days installing the exhibition and working with LSU School of Art students to provide a lecture, studio visits, and printmaking demonstrations.
