The media we choose to consume numbs us and the suffering endured by others becomes nothing more than flickering images on a screen, slowly turning our desensitizations to apathy and fascination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As artists, we seek to open dialogue and foster discussion through our version of \u201cactivist\u201d art. The best way to spur these conversations, especially with those of differing opinions, is to present provocative images and engage in the discourse that they initiate. Through the practices of artists from around the country, all making work about gun violence and how it impacts our society, we strive to bridge cultural and societal divides and demonstrate that this is an issue that affects all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px||4px|||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”50%”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”2900,2901,2903,2906,2921,2924,2922,2923″ orientation=”portrait” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-3px|||”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.artworkarchive.com\/profile\/acc-art-galleries\/exhibition\/american-roulette-navigating-gun-culture-and-our-society” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”View All Exhibition Artworks” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_font=”Alata||||||||” background_color=”RGBA(0,0,0,0)”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Related Programming” open=”off” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#000000″ background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_font=”Alata||||||||” toggle_text_align=”left” toggle_font_size=”31px” toggle_letter_spacing=”2px”][\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Restorative Listening Circle | March 27, 5pm – 6pm” open_toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.8.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”Didact Gothic||||||||” body_letter_spacing=”2px” background_color=”#E51F2D” background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” open=”off”]<\/p>\n The Art Galleries and the\u00a0ACC Center for Peace & Conflict Studies\u00a0<\/a>will host two Restorative Listening Circles with the aim of creating a space where visitors can start a conversation about the issue of gun violence in our society.
