Redact, Rewrite, Reframe: Art and the News
HMCT Gallery, HMCT Showcases, and Hutto-Patterson Exhibition Hall, 2022

Redact, Rewrite, Reframe is an exhibition that presents work by a selection of artists and designers utilizing images and materials from news media, emphasizing global sociopolitical events of the past two decades. Considering the ongoing debates surrounding the subjectivity of the news, it presents a timely opportunity to explore our current moment of an increasingly divided public. Featuring work by York Chang, Steve Hurd, Simon Johnston, Gloria Kondrup, Paula Scher, Rich Silverstein, Jemima Wyman, and Samira Yamin.
