Body Language

Closing Reception and Artist Talk

Artist Talk: Third Thursday, October 21, 2021 from 6:00-8:00pm

This fall, the Baum School of Art’s David E. Rodale and Rodale Family Galleries will host Emily Strong’s figurative landscapes, celebrating humanity and form, in her solo exhibition, Body Language from September 16 through October 21, 2021. Body Language explores the many complexities of physical relationships with self and others. Strong spent the months of quarantine interviewing models of all ages with different racial and cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations, body types, and disabilities in preparation of this body of work.

Emily Strong would like to thank The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation for its financial support.
