Opening Receptions: "Lola Flash" and "Feeling Tingly?"

Goucher Art Galleries invites you to an evening celebrating the opening of two new exhibitions across campus.

In the Silber Gallery, The Challenge: Survival & Visibility presents a retrospective of work by acclaimed photographer Lola Flash, whose portrait practice has, for more than four decades, centered visibility, dignity, and care for communities historically marginalized in mainstream culture. Working across analog and digital processes—including her signature cross-color photography—Flash creates richly saturated portraits that challenge dominant narratives while affirming presence, identity, and chosen community.

In the Bond Gallery, Rachel Stein presents Feeling Tingly?, an immersive installation that invites visitors into a sensory encounter with touch, perception, and bodily awareness. Through material, texture, and spatial experience, the installation explores how subtle sensations—those moments when something “tingles”—can shape how we move through and understand our bodies and environments.

Guests are invited to move between both gallery spaces, experience the exhibitions, and celebrate the artists…
