“The work of art is a scream of freedom” - Christo

A big belated thanks to these incredible Odyssey storytellers who, inspired by the UAMA exhibition “Ways of Seeing,” testified to artist Bailey Doogan’s quote:

“Our bodies are full of stories. They are detailed maps of our experiences. This corporeal topography of our hair patterns, veins, scars, calluses, wrinkles and flesh (both smooth and crenulated) speak of a life lived.”

What a magical and memorable night! Look for more UAMA x Odyssey collabs in the future 💜
