Movement & Memory in the Farmer Family Gallery

Interdisciplinary fine artist Jameel Amman will be at the Farmer Family Gallery from 4-6 p.m., Thursday, January 23, 2025, to open his new show Movement & Memory, an exhibition dedicated to the work of Sankofa. The works on display are a series of figurative drawings and digital paintings, collages and immersive experiences, intended to conjure African ancestral memory. Sankofa is a term that communicates the cyclical nature of time, relating one’s existence to the past, present and future. In keeping with this tradition, these works conjure the past into the present and future, and vice versa.

The opening and exhibition are free and open to the public. Movement & Memory will be in the Farmer Family Gallery from January 23-March 6. The gallery is located in Reed Hall. Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Thursday, with further visitation by appointment. Contact breidenbach.44@osu.edu.
