Swoon is a beautiful exhibition in the contemporary art center that I visited on Friday. The artist goes by this title and her work shows the inner world and history of the person being drawn/ carved in a beautiful way. The exhibit had a section with different kinds of cans and cups that you could put to your ear and listen to the stories of these people along with the artist giving information about mental illness and struggle brought on by poverty and abuse. I highly recommend everyone goes to this free exhibition it's so interesting to hear first hand what people who are silenced and put down be it by race, economic status, or past drug abuse have to say. These people are not just statistics they are real and beautiful human being that are suffering everyday and swoon helps materialize the beauty that lies within each of them.
