We’re excited to celebrate ARCAthens Fellow Tariku Shiferaw’s @abstractexit current exhibition, Hulet Semāi (Two Skies) at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno @nevadaart A Joyner/Giuffrida Visiting Artist Program exhibition

Through painting, sculpture, music, and other media, Shiferaw explores systems of visibility and concealment, drawing on geometric abstraction, gesture, repetition, and symbolism to consider diasporic cosmologies and modes of recognition. Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, raised in Los Angeles, and currently based in New York, his practice engages with the history of painting while continually pushing abstraction into new conceptual territory.

Hulet Semāi (Two Skies) brings together works from Shiferaw’s One of These Black Boys and Mata Semay series.

Exhibition Event 🎟️ Work in Progress: Tariku Shiferaw in conversation with Erin Christovale - September 30th at 6:00pm @erinzulie

📍 Glenn and Virginia Haldan Gallery, Floor 1
📅 Through October 18, 2026

We’re excited to highlight ARCAthens Fellow and curator Eleni Riga @elenrica, whose latest exhibition Winter Nights opens tomorrow, September 17th at Living Room in Athens @livingroomathens

Bringing together Norwegian, Greek, and Icelandic artists, Winter Nights explores seasonal rituals, animist worldviews, ecological memory, and the relationship between humans and the more-than-human world. Curated by Eleni Riga, the exhibition reflects on the connections between Nordic and Southern animisms, while considering climate change, ecological grief, and the knowledge carried through traditions of seasonal transformation.

Originally presented in Oslo and at Femidomen in 2025, the exhibition now expands in Athens to consider cyclical time and our changing relationship with nature.

The exhibition features the work of:
