Exhibition explores how culture reflects nature

The majority of ceramic departments in North America pride themselves on their interdisciplinary conceptual savvy, but Concordia continues to provide something unique – the richest cultural mix in Canada. As Raw/Medium Rare/Well Done demonstrates, there is a constant interplay between identities and languages.

Two broad, recurring themes have emerged within this exhibition: nature and culture. The title of the show obliquely references Claude Levi- Strauss’s seminal anthropological text, The Raw and the Cooked, which explores the dichotomy between nature and culture by examining myths. In Raw/Medium Rare/Well Done, artists explore how culture reflects nature.

This exhibition will be displayed until April 17 from 11 am to 7 pm, at Concordia University’s FOFA Gallery, 1515 Ste. Catherine W.
