Galleri Urbane welcomes back Austin-based artist Tammie Rubin for her debut solo show with the gallery, I Pick up My Life. She presents an exhibition surrounding Black Americans' metaphysical, physical, and spiritual relocation.
Following her inclusion in the gallery's 2020 winter group exhibition, Rubin brings together family images, coded symbols, and historical maps to visually contextualize The Great Migration, referencing the first line of One-Way Ticket by Langston Hughes in the show’s title.
A collection of various media, Rubin's components weave together a range of associations, intertwining history and storytelling, redefining the use of an object and underscoring the magnitude of its being multifunctional. The inherited symbolism in these diverse forms and implied meanings encourage a range of emotions. I Pick Up My Life is an ethnographic experience of Black Americans and a migration story that spans centuries.
The exhibition will remain on display through November 12.
