Art(s) on the Air with Flora Ranis

Join Kate Stanton Melendez for an interview with visiting artist Flora Ranis.  Flora Ranis is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller from the Florida Everglades whose work explores the molten, hand-made qualities of our built environment. In a celebration of non-dualist ontologies, she explores the intimacy between traditionally natural forms and urban markers of state power. Through metalworking, stone carving, and painting, she reorients quotidian objects as conceptual artifacts and contemporary myth-makers. Flora received her BA from Yale University, where she pursued ethnic studies and learned how to weld.   Flora Ranis is in Savannah through ARTS Southeast’s ON::View Residency, from April 8th through May 1st.      Upcoming Events:   ON::View Residency Artist Talk with Flora Ranis at ARTS Southeast on Wednesday, April 22nd, from 6-7PM.    ON::View Residency Project Finale with Flora Ranis at ARTS Southeast on Friday, May 1st, from 5-9PM during the Sulfer Street Fair, in conjunction with Starland First Fridays.      Learn more about the ON::View Residency here: https://www.instagram.com/onviewresidency https://artssoutheast.org/onview   See more of Flora’s work here: https://www.instagram.com/flora_ranis
