On the occasion of Rome Art Week (Oct. 21-26), Temple Rome's Gallery of Art will be hosting two young Philadelphia-based artists' exhibition "Imago Refracted". Curated by Stefania Marino. The exhibition opens on October 15th and runs through October 30th. 

"Imago Refracted" explores the intricate processes of reshaping and recontextualizing identities and perceptions. The term "imago" represents an idealized or fully realized image, while "refraction" refers to the bending and scattering of light, revealing layers of hidden meanings. This exhibition critically assesses the continuous transformation of images and identities through the prisms of time, experience, and perception. By delving into these refracted images, the exhibition prompts viewers to contemplate the fluidity and complexity of self-perception and identity.
