Featuring Jerrell Gibbs, Lolo Gem, Margaret Walker, Jiangshengyu Nova Pan, and Sara Dittrich.
College Park, MD. The Stamp Gallery is pleased to present Lights Off at 8 pm, a group exhibition featuring artists that approach memory as inherently fluid and ever-shifting, capable of evoking different emotions—love, grief, joy, anxiety, fear—at once and across time. Rather than seeking to preserve the past, these artists embrace the distortion, abstraction, and reinvention of memories, inviting the audience to consider alternative ways of remembering.
This exhibition and related programming is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council and The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

The Gallery’s programming aims to emphasize the importance of process to contemporary artistic practice and to provide a forum for dialogue.
