Join the Cummings Center for the History of Psychology and Myers School of Art for student Anika Calcei’s senior exhibition, Growing Pains.
Growing Pains is a multimedia observation of the simultaneous presence of grief and nostalgia that come with the loss of childhood– whether it be people, objects, or memories–that part with us as time moves forward, becoming unreachable. These unreachable entities shift like waves that rarely hold a permanence in the forefront of our minds, but that also intricately lace themselves in our lives. Bringing attention to these moments interwoven with our deepest memories is a way to acknowledge and accept these ever-changing lives we lead, filled with grief and pain and joy and love.
The University of Akron Covid-19 regulations permit a max of 10 people per gathering.

If max capacity in the gallery has been reached, you will be asked to wait until visitors leave the space. For everyone’s safety, we ask for your patience and understanding.
This exhibition will run from Friday April 23 through Thursday, August 12, 2021. After its dedicated opening, guests may view the exhibition during the Cummings Center’s current limited hours: Tuesdays 11am – 4pm & Thursdays 11am – 8pm
