Eyakem Gulilat, Norman
Art 365 Project: 11:00AM
Guililat received one of five Art 365 awards
of $12,000 to produce new artwork for the Art
365 exhibition.
As an
Ethiopian immigrant to Oklahoma, Gulilat observed the abundant presence of
churches in the state and grew curious about the racial, political and
socioeconomic relationships within and around churches. Using aerial
photography, he documents church buildings and their surrounding neighborhoods
on Sunday mornings, considering what they can tell us about ourselves, our
patterns, and relationships.
Read more about him in this Art Focus Oklahoma article. Audiences can interact with Gulilat at the following
