Opening Reception | Friday, August 24, 6-9pm

Sandra Murillo and ECU alumna Tahira Karim, with the support of ARTPOINT Gallery, are pleased to present “eNOugh” an exhibit which looks at the worldwide violence that women face and women’s strength. The exhibit features the works of 11 international artists spanning North and South America who explore these themes from various perspectives and utilizing various media.

Within this exhibition, our featured artists are working across multi-mediums from painting and illustration to animation and sculptures. Our artists include cultural artists, experimental animators, sculptors, teachers, painters, and illustrators. Each of us know people that have been affected by this problem. Each of us wants to contribute to this dialogue and expand it.

Featured artists: Natasha Moustache, Amy Dryer, SofiLi, Sol Diaz, Maya Vasquez, Jennifer Peters, Valerie Sabaliauskas, Sindy Elefante, Lucero Huamani, Sandra Murillo, and Tahira Karim.

Tahira Karim (Tauska) holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Emily Carr University of Art + Design) and a Bachelor of Teaching (University of Victoria). Her world of art involves illustrating, participating in various exhibits, including her first solo exhibit “Willka” (2017), and publishing - her first children’s book “Doing What We Want; An Alphabet Book for Girls” (2017). Tahira uses her work to fuel dreams, and break boundaries. She begins her MFA in Paris in September.

Sandra Murillo is a Peruvian artist and sculptor. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture) from the National School of Fine Arts (Lima) from where she graduated with distinction (2011). In 2013 Sandra had her first solo show “Antagonica” in which she ironized the meaning of love and tenderness, contrasting them with the ideas of evil and perversion in appropriating children’s objects. Sandra currently works as a sculptor and restoration artist with the principal theatre of Lima, Peru.
