The College of Fine, Performing, Communication Arts (CFPCA), Wayne State University is pleased to present Edge of Visibility at the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery from February 7 through April 26, 2025. An opening reception will be held on Friday, February 7, 5-8PM.
Edge of Visibility is a multimedia exhibition featuring works by artists who address current contemporary concepts. Through individual practices and the use of repetition, color, and abstracted imagery, the artists reflect on personal experiences to explore identity and origin. Tension and harmony are made visible through process and material, representing cultural and historical topics, but also a passage of time.
The exhibition features work by Alia Ali, Hasan Elahi, Sahar Khoury, and Jordan Nassar.

The selected works will reveal a critical understanding of the larger artworld, combined with ideas and approaches unique to Detroit's cultural community. Each work reflects a powerful sense of loyalty to the place of origin, created by artists with deep ties to the community, and articulate the way in which cultural expression has manifested itself in a unique and diverse Detroit style.
Included with the exhibition will be a selection of work from the Alternative Press, curated by Jakira Ahmed, the UAC Susanne Feld Hilberry Fellow. Jakira is a current student receiving a BA in Art History and English, and also works in the UAC as well as the galleries.
