Exhibit and Reception: Anna Tsouhlarakis at East Window

Fall of Freedom / Anna Tsouhlarakis

Reception: May 1, 7 AM – 11:30 AM

Exhibit: On view through June 30, 2026

East Window joins forces with Fall of Freedom, featuring Edges of the Ephemeral by Anna Tsouhlarakis. She employs the template of parking signage, both familiar and authoritative, to explore Navajo (Diné) mythology and legend around multiple worlds. The artist asked questions of her Navajo community regarding their thoughts on the Navajo cycle of worlds, specifically about their beliefs of reaching a state of harmony, or “hozho”, in the world today. The responses were incorporated into this work.

Located on the east side of the building, our exhibit window is designed for the presentation and outdoor viewing of artworks until 11:30pm every day.
