Eyakem Gulilat’s photography explores cross-cultural encounters, memory, and the way the camera’s lens can affect our perceptions of each other. A native of Ethiopia, Gulilat’s award-winning work has exhibited across the country. Now, it is on view at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City (along with more than twenty-five other Oklahoma artists) during the annual mixed-media exhibition, ArtNow. The exhibition’s closing gala on January 19 is a party, a fundraiser, and an art sale, ensuring that all exhibitions remain free of charge, year-round. oklahomacontemporary.org
