Title
The Art of Play
Description
The Art of Play is an immersive sculptural art installation that explores the themes of play, identity, and cultural fusion. Drawing from the artists’ journeys growing up LGBTQ+ in and around Rhode Island, the work creates a multi-sensory experience that reflects the complex layers of intersecting identities and the blending of cultural heritage. As they put it “Play is an integral part of learning about yourself and those around you. By supplying vibrant opportunities for cohesive play, we hope to build connections between those who interact with this installation’s moving, spinning, and visually captivating elements regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.”
