Oak Cliff Cultural Center will present “Disciplined,” featuring four local artists of different ethnicities and backgrounds from the Dallas area who come together to invite people to have an experience that is both individual and unique, yet shared and similar to every viewer. They are using this metaphor as the overall message of how their life experiences are separate and different, yet they still understand the lessons and meanings learned and can share them with one another.

The plan to accomplish this is by creating a literal timeline from birth to death, allowing the viewer to navigate chronologically forward or backwards at their leisure for understanding. Each artist uses their own style of art to portray an era of life that is vital to personal identity, and how they are interconnected with each other. This show is the unified vision that exemplifies the idea that despite all different experiences, people can come together to share their thoughts and perspectives and move forward together.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through March 30.
