Norajean Ferris: “Global Scream: Voices within Oppression”

The University of Maine at Presque Isle’s Reed Art Gallery will present an exhibition from Maine-based artist Norajean Ferris, titled “Global Scream: Voices within Oppression,” from Friday, June 5 through Friday, Aug. 7. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 5, 6-8 p.m., and a closing reception on Friday, Aug. 7, 6-8 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. Ferris is recognized for her intuitive engagement with material, memory, and landscape, but equally central to her practice is a sustained engagement with political and social realities that shape contemporary life. This exhibition offers a window into Ferris’s evolving creative language—one that is at once contemplative, materially rich, and attuned to the complexities of the world. Regular gallery hours during the summer are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. FMI: Gallery Director Frank Sullivan, (207) 694-1920, or frank.sullivan@maine.edu.
