This Week, Culture Club Members will be hopping over to K Contemporary Gallery to see French-Carribean artist Marielle Plaisir’s solo exhibition, Rhapsody for a Beloved World. In the exhibition, Marielle presents a visual manifesto where beauty becomes an active force of resistance. Through large-scale tapestries, 3D backlit works, intricate drawings, and vibrant paintings from her World of Utopias series, Plaisir invites us into a world where aesthetic form challenges historical oppression and reclaims power through visual poetics. Join us to meet Marielle herself and hear about her process and artist in creating these powerful works. 

About CultureHop: 

The Biennial of the Americas' CultureHop program is designed to bring Culture Club members closer to the vibrant art and cultural scenes across the Americas right here in Denver. CultureHop invites participants to join curated Friday morning tours of artist studios, galleries, museums, and cultural spaces. Each week, members will "hop" between different creative venues, offering them an intimate and behind-the-scenes experience with local artists, curators, and cultural leaders. Meetups will feature coffee and pastries from local coffee shops. 

The program provides a unique opportunity to engage with local artists, spaces and galleries to explore diverse cultural expressions, and foster meaningful connections within the arts community. It's a great way for art enthusiasts and cultural explorers to stay connected to the creative pulse of Denver and build greater appreciation for the Americas.
