Using glass to tell the story, Australian Aboriginal artist Yhonnie Scarce confronts the ominous history of her people and the role of colonization. She conveys a fragile legacy of violence and oppression through personal memories and abstract representation in works such as “The Day We Went Away,” a found suitcase filled with blown glass. On Friday, she will be on hand to discuss her work at the opening of “What They Wanted.”
Friday 9/14. Free, 5:30pm. Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection, 400 Worrell Dr. 244-0234.
