DIRT is a group exhibition selected by guest-curator and artist Onajide Shabaka. The exhibition presents a variety of takes –material, spiritual, metaphoric- on this fundamental substance. The artists in this exhibition reside in, or are connected to, South Florida. An illustrated catalog has been produced by the University Galleries to document the exhibition.
