A new exhibit, What My Mother Told Me: The Art of Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons is set to open today at Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture. Afro-Cuban artist Campos-Pons uses her own cultural heritage and history to explore concepts of the self (body and identity). Known for expressing herself through means of paintings, installations, sculptures, video and poetry, Campos-Pons’ exhibit looks like it’ll leave you contemplative. Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, 551 S. Tryon St. For museum hours and admission prices, call 704-547-3700 or visit www.ganttcenter.org.
