Director’s Statement
Since 1998 Andrew Carroll has traveled to all 50 states and more than 40 countries, to seek out what he calls “the world’s great undiscovered literature.” He has collected approximately 200,000 previously unpublished letters and emails written during wartime from every conflict in U.S. history. Having shared these letters with audiences around the country, I know their transformative, healing and educational qualities and my hope is that this film will allow us to share their power with a wider audience and, importantly, create interest in the need to preserve these letters for history. For some, they have a therapeutic quality. For others, these letters provide a glimpse into the experience of a loved one who served or survived war. For others, they offer a richer understanding of what it means to go to war. We offer no easy answers and by design, the film strives to not be political…but it does challenge audiences to experience war through the eyes of those involved while we embark on Carroll’s journey around the world to collect these letters. The film, we hope, ultimately becomes a tribute to the immeasurable sacrifices made and an unforgettable reminder of war’s impact on those it touches. These are their stories—as only they can tell them.

ABOUT THARROS PLACE:
Human trafficking – the exploitation of another person for sex, labor, or services – is a global threat.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION

Having access to reliable transportation is essential for individuals as it allows them to get to work, school, medical appointments, training opportunities, and other critical resources. It also provides greater opportunities for social and economic growth.

The Women Who Rule campaign, led by United Way WOMEN UNITED®, is committed to this endeavor through fundraising and awareness. Women leaders and local change-makers from all backgrounds inspire others to donate and serve their community in new ways.

We hope to see you at our Women Who Rule Campaign luncheon, where we will celebrate women’s achievements, encourage one another, and raise funds for the WOMEN UNITED® Transportation Fund. If you miss the event, don’t worry—you can still contribute to this worthy cause.

Jeremiah Jossim: moonlight & shadow
On View: January 27 – April 4, 2026
Reception with the Artist: Thursday, March 5, 5:30 – 8:00pm

Jeremiah Jossim’s recent body of work, moonlight & shadow, stems from a fascination with American history and the landscapes he witnessed on road trips across the country. Drawn to a book of Amish quilting during a recent excursion, Jossim was struck by quilts with names such as “sunshine and shadow,” “triple-chain,” and “wild goose chase,” as well as their remarkable affinity with modernist abstraction. In moonlight & shadow, quilting and painting patterns merge with landscapes in the distant vista, traveling along the edges of many of the paintings, encasing or expanding the geometries and spaces within. This selection of new work, which is Jossim’s first exhibition at Laney Contemporary, builds on his bold palette while extending it towards new horizons grounded in the tradition of craft, landscape, and abstraction.

Jossim notes that quilting and making art can both be forms of survival. For many American women in the 18th and 19th centuries, quilting was the essence of warmth and familial continuity; colorful patterns conveyed information, meaning, and legacy. The quilt is historically linked to healing and memory, to spirituality, durability, and way-finding. Having completed radiation treatment in August, Jossim shares: “This body of work is a difficult one to hold in my hands; it’s about being sick, like really sick, and not knowing if you’ll see next year.” The quilt and the canvas connect the unseen or the abstract to the tangible, the unknown to the known. “Maybe the quilt is the portal bringing me closer to the other side at a time when I wonder about my own continued existence.”

For Jossim, the twenty-eight multi-sized paintings in moonlight & shadow are dream-like in practice, instinctive, and full of gravitation toward the colors of transition between day and night and back to day again. They call attention to spectrums of time and states of flux. His landscapes are vast, grandiose, and at times lonely. Yet there is a bold hue of hope on the horizon with the anticipation of sunrise.

Marcus Kenney: The Ball
On View: January 27 – April 4, 2026
Reception with the Artist: Thursday, March 5, 5:30 – 8:00pm

The Ball is a suite of 26 collaged lithographs that feature illustrations of costumed characters from an Italian masquerade ball. The collection was created using techniques which are typical of Marcus Kenney’s work, such as the recontextualization of found imagery and compositions made of striking yet irreducible elements.

Created in the style of Dadaist collage, Kenney repurposed a set of lithographed illustrations originally published in 1827 by Cucininello and Bianchi of the Royal Printing House in Naples. Masked figures, floating on antique stained paper, occupy theatrical, humorous, and often bizarre compositions.

Kenney has titled this series of collages “The Ball” as a double reference to the masquerade ball depicted in the original illustrations, and also as a nod to German artist Hugo Ball, one of the founders of the Dada movement. Ball, in his “Dada Manifesto,” stated that the post-World War I art movement “alternated between coherence and absurdity.” Kenney’s simple yet provocative collaboration across two hundred years, between a forgotten Italian illustrator and a contemporary American artist, proves that “what’s old is new again, and what’s finished has yet to begin.”
