Discover the Five Territories of the Heart with Artist Edwin Gil

Join Charlotte artist Edwin Gil for an evening exploring his exhibition "The Heart Series." Gil will share how his personal experiences with migration, memory, and transformation shaped five interconnected themes: roots, identity, voice, healing, and belonging. His work features layered imagery and golden seams inspired by kintsugi, a Japanese technique that celebrates repair and renewal. This is a chance to hear directly from the artist about the stories woven into his creations and reflect on what these ideas mean in your own life. The evening runs from 6 to 8 PM, with a cash bar opening at 6 PM and the artist talk beginning at 6:30 PM. Best of all, admission is completely free. Families looking for a meaningful cultural experience will appreciate Gil's thoughtful approach to big questions about belonging and identity.
