FloodZone, featuring photography by Anastasia Samoylova, explores what it looks like to live in the southern United States at a time when rising sea levels and hurricanes threaten the most prized locations with storm surges and coastal erosion. Samoylova’s lyrical photographs are deceptive, drawing us in with a seemingly documentary promise of a palm-treed paradise. Their alluring color palette — filled with lush greens, azure blues, and pastel pinks — gives way to minute details that reveal decaying infrastructure, encroaching flora, and displaced fauna.

In conjunction with the exhibition Anastasia Samoylov: FloodZone on display at the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery from January 29 through May 24, the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Anastasia Samoylova in conversation with Mark Alice Durant.

The Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture presents the Opening Reception for Spectrum of Process: 2024 UMBC Faculty Exhibition. Spectrum of Process presents a range of UMBC faculty approaches to art and culture through rigorous, experimental processes.
