Threading: Contemporary Art of Thailand
July 3 - Dec. 6, 2025
Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
It is a formidable undertaking to chart the immense variety of the artists working in a single country while doing justice to our goal of reflecting their unique cultural experiences through the visual arts. In every country the artists living and working there may not have been born there, and yet they call their adopted cities and countries home. The artists represented in “Threading: Contemporary Art from Thailand,” are primarily based in Bangkok and Saen Suk, Chon Buri, Thailand.

I Remember: Elizabeth Stone
June 6 - Nov. 1, 2025
Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
Photographer Elizabeth Sone thinks deeply about community connections. Sharing in the participatory multi-generational stories of “I Remember” is an opportunity for Turchin Center visitors to connect with extended communities across North Carolina. The negatives and faded 35mm slides that Stone gathers through donations and then weaves into ethereal sculptural forms create a shared vison which is both specific and anonymous.
