William Cordova (BFA 1996) is the curator for smoke signals: istwa, paisajes and allegories, a show that challenges familiar perceptions of our surroundings through unconventional materials such as building materials, found objects and textiles. The exhibition proposes alternative methods of reconsidering our own presence and values.
