SUMMARY:Qualeasha Wood: code_eden
DESCRIPTION:Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum to Exhibit Qualeasha Wood’s Tapestries that Draw \non Social Media\, Queer Culture\, and Anti-Black Prejudice \nGlassboro\, NJ (October 14\, 2025) — Internationally celebrated\, Philadelphia-based textile artist\nQualeasha Wood will make her regional debut in a solo exhibition running November 10 to January\n10 at Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum.\nWood’s work explores her identity as a queer Black woman and a digital native\, as well as racial\nstereotyping\, social media\, and internet culture. The Central Jersey native\, who works and lives in\nPhiladelphia\, was drawn to textiles after her grandmother covered her with “a jacquard blanket woven\nwith baby photos.”\nQualeasha Wood: code_eden invites viewers into the vivid\, layered worlds and self-portraits that she\nbuilds from digital culture. Through textiles\, tuftings\, and new video works (that consider glitches and\nmisinformation online)\, the 29-year-old artist transforms the language of technology into lush\nlandscapes. The exhibition presents her as a world-builder\, crafting a meta-paradise that blurs the line\nbetween the virtual and the human.\nIn Deus Ex Machina (What Was I Made For?) (pictured above)\, Wood explores ideas of divine\nintervention and self-determination through imagery of fauna and the iconography of virtual and\nreligious sacraments. Wood’s tuftings\, such as Into the Blue\, visualize the journey of adolescence and\nintrospection through bold colors and pillowy textures. \nThe show is being guest curated by Leandra-Juliet Kelley\, an art historian and curator based in Durham\,\nNorth Carolina.\nRowan’s Art Gallery & Museum in Glassboro\, New Jersey\, just outside Philadelphia\, mounts new\ncontemporary art exhibitions by professional artists every two to three months. With a reputation for\nattracting high caliber\, international talent\, it’s a cornerstone of South Jersey’s vibrant arts scene. All\nexhibitions and special events are open to the public with free admission.\nLocal Artist With an International Reputation\n“The artist’s tapestries\, which incorporate distorted self-portraits and screenshots from the internet\, feel\nboth ephemeral and nostalgic\,” wrote The New York Times earlier this year.\nWood’s 2021 tapestry “The [Black] Madonna/Whore Complex” was acquired by the Metropolitan\nMuseum of Art. The Rhode Island School of Design graduate’s work is currently included in Design and\nDisability at The Victoria and Albert Museum in London\, as well as in the Philadelphia International\nAirport’s Terminal E.\nIn 2024\, she presented her first solo institutional exhibition\, code_anima\, at the Harvey B. Gantt Center\nfor African-American Art + Culture in Charlotte\, North Carolina. In 2025\, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery in\nLondon presented Malware\, Wood’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.\nHer work has also appeared at Art Institute of Chicago\, The Rennie Collection\, Vancouver\, The Rhode\nIsland School of Design Museum\, The Studio Museum in Harlem\, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\,\nand The Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Texas.\nLater this year she will be a part of I Still Dream of Lost Vocabularies at Autograph in London.\nHow to Visit\nLocated at 301 High Street West\, Glassboro\, NJ 08028\, Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum is open\nto the public with free admission Monday to Friday 10:00 am – 5:00 pm and Saturday 11:00 am – 5:00\npm.\nAn Opening Reception on Saturday\, November 15\, 3-5 p.m. features a discussion with the artist and\nguest curator.\nLearn more. \nPRESS PHOTOS (credits/captions enclosed) \nAbout Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum\nRowan University Art Gallery & Museum offers contemporary art exhibitions featuring celebrated\, high-caliber\nvisual artists from the global and local communities.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Philadelphia: A Guide to Witches
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Philadelphia presents: “A Guide to Witches\,” on the figure of the witch in history\, legend\, folklore\, and fairy tales\, with Linda Lee\, lecturer in folklore and literature at the University of Pennsylvania. \nGet ready for something spellbinding: A look at various depictions of witches as reflections of ideas about female sexuality\, independence\, agency\, and power. \nOffering up this pre-Halloween treat will be folklorist Linda Lee\, who earned rave reviews in giving this talk at the Black Squirrel Club a year ago and has captivated audiences at this Fishtown venue with her past discussions of dark Christmas folklore and the goddess Persephone. \nWe’ll start with an introduction to witches from European folklore\, fairy tales\, and legends. You’ll learn how they’re generally portrayed as powerful\, solitary\, and defiant figures who can be either helpful or harmful. They may appear as mothers\, helpers who aid heroes on quests\, or monsters to be vanquished. They can represent a threat to the community by snatching children or by pilfering cows’ milk. \nIndividual witches who will be conjured up include the child-eating witch from Grimms’ “Hansel and Gretel” and Baba Yaga\, the ambiguous witch of Slavic folklore who lives in a hut on chicken legs and flies around inside a giant mortar while clutching a big pestle. Lee contrasts such fictional depictions with the ideas about witches and witchcraft espoused by Christian demonological thought. \nYou’ll learn how witches are described by early modern sources like Malleus Maleficarum\, the 15th-century treatise on witchcraft which also served as a witch hunters’ manual. Such texts presented witches as entirely malevolent figures who gain magical powers through a pact with the Devil (usually signed with menstrual blood). They depicted witches as using a special ointment that empowers them to fly to a Witches’ Sabbath to dance and perform demonic rituals. \nYou’ll see how such ideas were visually reinforced through engravings\, woodcuts\, and drawings\, by artists like Albrecht Dürer\, that depicted naked women riding broomsticks and dancing with devils. \nYou’ll come away with a better understanding of why witches are among the most versatile\, notorious\, and enduring figures from fairy tales and legends and remain an iconic part of contemporary Halloween traditions. Feel free to dress witchy if you wish. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Doors open at 3:30 pm. Talk starts at 4:30. ) \nImage: From “Preparation for the Witches’ Sabbath\,” by 17th Century Flemish artist David Teniers the Younger.
