This week we're presenting Hood Museum of Art, Kingston Gallery and Providence Art Club.

These three exhibitions challenge viewers to look at their environments in a new way and engage with the space around them on a deeper level. From having viewers reckon with colonial mindsets in mapmaking to engaging with the vibrant colors and shapes of the natural world to personifying the people, places and things all around us, these shows are a glimpse into how others see the world.

The deadline to advertise in the July / August edition of Artscope Magazine is Saturday, June 15. Contact advertise@artscopemagazine.com right away to book!

Hood Museum of Art presents [Un]Mapping: Decolonial Cartographies of Place, a show that aims to challenge viewers' preconceived ideas of mapmaking and pushes them to "think about alternatives for visualizing our relationships to place." The show features work of several artists whose pieces "critique colonial legacies of cartography and employ decolonial and Indigenous ways of knowing." This exhibition pushes boundaries artistically and conceptually. The museum is open Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Hood Museum of Art is located at 6 East Wheelock Street, Hanover, NH.
