“Weapons of Choice,” a new collaborative art exhibit will be on display through March 29 at the Cadman Art Gallery in the Rhatigan Student Center on the Wichita State University main campus.
The exhibit features eight photographs from the 125-photo collection of Gordon Parks’ work held by WSU’s Ulrich Museum. The exhibit will also feature architectural drawings by renowned Wichita architect Charles McAfee; and works from Wichita middle and high school students.
The eight Parks photographs focus on the powerful images of children and families that Parks created throughout his career. The student works depict societal injustices as seen through the eyes of the youth, inspired by Parks.
This collaborative display is presented by Gordon Parks Academy, Ulrich Museum of Art, Shift Space, WSU Cadman Gallery, and the Wichita Chapter of Links, Inc.
