About the exhibition:
Featuring the Fall 2024 Cape Cod Community College artist in residence, Ashley Page, the works on view merge time, place, and imagination. A reflection of her lived experience and those who came before her, Page merges elements of American history, divination practices, and our innate connection to the natural world to fabricate dreamscapes of the African American consciousness. Exploring themes of colonial America and the reverberations of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, I AM A CHOIR untethers Page’s imagination and grants us the permission to follow along. It is an invitation for us to explore the depths of our past and understand the context of the time in which we currently live.

About the Artist:
Ashley Page is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Portland, Maine. Originally hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Page considers her studio practice and curatorial projects to be a vessel for representation, intergenerational exchange, and creative expression. Having obtained her BFA in Sculpture and a minor in Public Engagement from Maine College of Art & Design, her artistic framework is a vehicle for storytelling. In 2022, she was awarded the Amelia Peabody Award for Sculpture by St. Botolph Club Foundation, and has taught workshops at Waterfall Arts, Peters Valley, the University of Maine Orono and more. Her curatorial and studio practice has been seen in the Portland Museum of Art, Hunterdon Art Museum, Congress Square Park, the Center for Afrofuturist Studies, The Abyssinian Meeting House, Cove Street Arts, and others. Page is presently the Studio and Programs Manager at Indigo Arts Alliance, where she works within the intersection of art and activism.
