  2. Three Openings at the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford

    Art is often best served in seemingly random, unrelated chunks: That's one of the takeaways of the three exhibits opening at Charter Oak Cultural Center this week, which include <em>Under My Skin</em>, a photographic exploration of the 1912 eviction of a mixed-race community from their homes on Malaga Island ("Eason Homestead, 1911," is pictured above) by the state of Maine; <em>MIXUS</em>, a collection from a Greater Hartford mixed-media artist collective, whose fondness for collage is no secret; and Melissa Croghan's <em>Mother America Series </em>paintings, documenting the artist's take on America's shifting identities in the wake of 9/11. As you look closer, affinities between the exhibits present themselves, as they always do: identity, nationhood, freedom, energy and religion, for starters. It's a lot to digest in one visit, but you can always go back for more.

  6. Large-Scale Figurative Paintings By Beena Azeem on Display at Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford

    When it comes to symbolism, Hartford artist Beena Azeem prefers to keep things uncertain. Symbolism surrounds us all the time, she argues, bombarding us with political and sexual meanings in the service of some agenda. Why not leave it open? View five large-scale figurative paintings by Azeem, including "Chaos Theory" (pictured), at the Charter Oak Cultural Center until mid-October. In addition to being an artist, Azeem did HIV/AIDS research in Uganda and Mozambique and graduated from medical school in Pakistan. You can bet those experiences inform her artistic choices.
