In an age where information, true or false, is an overabundant resource, we find that curiosity is slowly becoming a lost art? The act of questioning is one of our greatest abilities as humans? Interrobang is a physical publication that creates a tactile and communal curiosity as it contains the questions of artists? We present the socratic method through a zine format? Interrobang operates as a forum, heralded by the unconventional mix of a question and an exclamation mark? This punctuation mark is typically considered a sign of poor writing? However, by rejecting this belief, we not only express our passion for questioning authority but also establish the work as a non-judgemental environment for curiosity? The separation of judgment and question serves our doctrine as we turn our focus to asking the questions we are afraid to ask, whether for fear of being perceived as stupid, improper, or vulnerable? Interrobang dismantles these insecurities surrounding the act of questioning, and thus allows for featured artists to candidly express their innermost thoughts?

​

Featured in the exhibition is Little Cloud's most recent work, "Rift," a 48x48 painting on canvas created to immerse the viewer in her dichotomous visual world. The work deals with Little Cloud's mixed identity, designed to combine the many facets of her contemporary "urban native" experience. With each element holding personal significance to the artist, the process of combining these elements was intentionally unplanned. This allowed for an uncertain approach to the canvas, forcing the artist to discover ways to combine each element into a cohesive visual language. Little Cloud states, "The work shows how, as mixed individuals, we often feel like we need to mold ourselves into this complete image we have in our head of what a 'whole identity' looks like, rather than allowing ourselves to be the multi-faceted and dynamic beings that we are." Furthermore, she describes the process of creating "Rift" as one of great challenge and internal frustration as it deals with subject matter close to her heart.

​

However, Little Cloud states, "I encourage viewers to find their own meanings in my work and create connections that I may not have originally intended. My interpretation of the painting is mine alone, while another’s will be completely personal to them. I find it beautiful when viewers find different meanings in my work and ways to extrapolate and impose their own experiences onto my creations. I don't think the work is complete until then."
