SUMMARY:In the Main Gallery: Heather Rousseau's Making it in America
DESCRIPTION:Southwest Virginia has become a vital place for those seeking safety and a new beginning for decades. In recent years\, our region has welcomed hundreds of neighbors—from Afghan families following the 2021 withdrawal and Ukrainians escaping invasion\, to Latino families who are navigating the complexities of shifting national policies. \nThis project is the culmination of five years of visual journalism and a two-year fellowship with The Secular Society. Through in-depth reporting for The Roanoke Times\, photojournalist Heather Rousseau has sought to document not just the challenges of displacement\, but the resilience of the human spirit. While many newcomers arrive with nothing\, they bring an indomitable determination to contribute and thrive.

SUMMARY:In the Main Gallery: Tolerance Poster Project
DESCRIPTION:The Tolerance Project is a traveling poster show initiative\, a bold enterprise founded and curated by artist-activist Mirko Ilic. The show features posters by prominent artists from around the world whose only direction is to illustrate the word “tolerance” in their native language. \nThis April\, galleries and businesses throughout Blacksburg will unite to display Tolerance posters from many of these designers. The XYZ Art Gallery will also feature work by Graphic Design students in Meaghan Dee’s Advanced Typography class. Each gallery features unique works\, so please join us in visiting all locations. \nThe gallery crawl on April 10 includes BMCF’s gallery at the Alexander Black House\, Bird Block Studios\, Miller off Main\, The Lyric Theatre\, and XYZ Art Gallery. \nShow runs April 7 – April 30 at BMCF.
