Artist, Christina Springer

Futuristic Relics & Motherboards Sacred are part of an on-going collection of videos, paintings, ritual objects, textiles, and temple icons which contemplate the future utopia people (Black) will experience by the 31st Century. Through manipulations of space and time, Christina Springer has called into being and manifested relics and artifacts from The Monongahela Territories.  On display will be works which exist due to Memory Transfer Sessions from 31st Century Egunographers & SpiriTechs. This work was made possible in part by The Pittsburgh Foundation and The Heinz Endowments joint program "Advancing The Black Arts In Pittsburgh," as well as, Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, Artist Opportunity Grant.
