Rami George: Spheres of Influence
Spheres of Influence sought to explore the intersections between food and spirituality by way of the artist’s particular family history. It is a story of immigration, loss and search for religion, the joining of disparate ideas and cuisines, cults and fringe communities, and what happens to a family along the way. It is also an intergenerational conversation, bringing together the artist’s work alongside early ceramics from their mother, Nelli Kreidi. Rami George is an interdisciplinary artist currently based on Lenape land in what is now called Philadelphia. They have exhibited and screened broadly and remain motivated by political struggles and fractured narratives.
Welcome (M)Art is a program that blurs the lines between art gallery, grocery, and dinner party; providing a unique opportunity for social discourse in Cincinnati.
The 2023 Welcome (M)ART program was generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Welcome Project is located at 2936 Colerain Ave. and is open Wednesday – Saturday 11am - 6pm
