Rivers Institute for Contemporary Art & Thought invites you to join us in the galleries for the opening of Tina Girouard: SIGN-IN, presented in partnership with the Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) in New York on Friday, September 20th, 2024 from 5pm-8pm ET.

This exhibition is the first comprehensive posthumous retrospective of devoted to the Louisiana artist Tina Girouard (1946-2020) and is the culmination of over four years of archival and object-based research into her life, work, and international community of peers. From the 1970s until her death, Girouard was a dedicated experimental artist, collaborator, and art worker, whose practice across mediums deeply informed feminist art, craft, performance, and video of the last century. Alongside her individual creative work, she nurtured and was a part of artist communities and organizations in Louisiana, New York, and Haiti, including the Anarchitecture Group, the interdisciplinary cohort of 112 Greene Street, FOOD restaurant, The Kitchen, P.S. 1, and the Festival International de Louisiane.

Doors open at 5pm and runs until 8pm. This event is free and open to the public.
