Art for Lunch in Steckline Gallery – Yulla Vega

Students can enjoy a free pizza lunch while listening as artist Yulla Vega discusses her work, “Flight Safety and How Not to Drown” for this month’s exhibition in the Steckline Gallery.

“Flight Safety” references fleeing from one situation to the next in the hopes that a new circumstance is better, while “How Not to Drown” refers to the hope of being safe, despite a “looming fear of full homelessness or becoming forgotten,” Vega explained.

“Transitional homelessness, or the lack of a place to settle and call home, is the central idea of these works,” she said. “Upon conversing with many people in this situation, the question arises: Is this a problem creatives face in particular?”

The “Flight Safety and How Not to Drown” exhibition will be on display April 3-25.
