In "I Carry Them On My Back, Of Course!," mixed media artist Alexandria P. Clay presents a body of work that eagerly searches for shelter from the trauma of experiencing marginalizing spaces. Spanning over several years, her work arrives at the questioning of origins of "safe spaces;" how are they conceived, and who is maintaining them?

You can see the work at the Frankie G. Weems Gallery on the campus of Meredith College on Thursday, January 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. Register here for the opening reception.
