“From the Sweet Flypaper of Life”
May 10 – July 16, 2024
Reception: Saturday, May 11, 1:00-3:00pm
Old Town Newhall Library
This exhibition borrows its title from the book, The Sweet Flypaper of Life by Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes. Inspired by its intimate portrayal of Black family life in the 1950s Harlem, students from the CalArts CAP Photography Program captured different facets of their own “home,” whether it is a physical house, a city or a home away from home. The resulting series of analog photographs explore the youth’s homemaking process and answers the question: What makes a home, home?
The CalArts Community Arts Partnership (CAP) Photography Lab Program invites high school students to a 12-week course on photography, taught by California Institute of the Arts School of Art faculty and students. Aimed at all skill levels, this free program provides all necessary equipment and culminates in a student photography exhibition. To learn more about California Institute of the Arts and the Community Arts Partnership, please visit www.calarts.edu.

Roded is curious about the relationships and feelings we develop with symbols, material possessions and time, which ultimately influence and become a part of our identity. In the Clothing Pile Etchings, the artist explores how clothing expresses our character while being worn but can also represent our states of emotions or being once disassociated from our bodies.
