Exhibit on Display: August 23, 2025-January 3, 2026
Lyrical steel curves, splashes of bright color, and provocative questions about barriers to understanding come together in an exhibition at the Mississippi Arts + Entertainment Experience (The MAX) in Meridian. Cecelia Moseley: Remnants of Language will turn a gallery into an immersive, deeply personal experience from August 23, 2025, through January 3, 2026. Oversize metal sculptures, prints, and a vivid acrylic installation will inspire you to wonder what remains – and what is lost – when digital communication replaces handwriting. Moseley, a Meridian native, asks: As we move forward, what traces remain? How are we adapting? What parts of us are changing?
