Tai Shani works with painting, sculpture, installation, and film to explore the politics of emancipation through a feminist lens. A prolific writer, Shani draws on sources including punk rock, cult cinema, Greek mythology, feminist theory, and science fiction. For her first US solo museum exhibition, she has made a feature-length film, My Bodily Remains, Your Bodily Remains, and all the Bodily Remains that Ever Were and Ever Will Be (2023). The film makes use of emotive effects and passages of digital animation to explore the often overlooked connections between leftist resistance movements over the past 150 years. It oscillates between depictions of a society plagued by isolation, greed, and fear on one hand, and investigations of eroticism and pleasure as catalysts for radical change on the other.
To accompany the film, Shani has produced a floor-based installation resembling an inverted Medieval ceiling, accessorized with an array of artifacts—pearlescent spheres of various sizes, handcrafted ceramic hands, and a reliquary—that refer to the film and various literary sources. Suspended above it and on the adjacent wall will be fragmented architectural forms—columns, an altar, and circular discs—that further emphasize Shani’s interest in conjuring immersive dream-like environments. Drawing on queer and feminist theory, and political ideologies of collectivism, the exhibition ponders love as a device for healing and resistance.
Thought-provoking and reflective exhibitions like these happen thanks to the support of generous patrons. Speak with a member of our Development Team to learn more about how you can support bringing art to all people.
Annual exhibition support is provided by Gale and Dave Beckett, BelFlex and Jason McCaw, Barbara Weston Sasser and Carol Weston Roberts, Ronnie and John Shore, Helen and Brian Heekin, Barbara Myers, and the generous contributors to the CAC Exhibition Fund. General operating support for the CAC is provided by ArtsWave, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council, P&G Fund, and the Johnson Foundation.

Jamie-Lee Elizabeth has our Artist-In-Residence for this Fall. To celebrate her stellar residency, we're having a closing reception which will include live poetry readings, snacks and drinks, and creative writing prompts for you to join in on the fun privately, with friends, or maybe even having the chance to read your own writing aloud for the crowd!

Jamie-Lee's residency is focusing on the themes of vulnerability and human connection by exploring love and heartbreak, friendship and family, black womanhood, as well as, grief and joy.

Jamie-Lee will craft creative writing workshops exploring these themes and how wellness can intertwine with and even potentially expand upon them. When we have the opportunity to be vulnerable with ourselves and each other creatively it has an overall positive impact on our own personal well being!

She used the poetry books of authors Nikki Giovanni, Lucille Clifton, Sonia Sanchez, Alex Elle and Jasmine Mans as guides throughout her workshops. After the success of this fellowship, she would like to continue to focus on expanding her workshopping skills and interaction with community members.
