TTU School of Art invites you to attend Joshua Mokry’s thesis lecture, “Underearth” Joshua Mokry is an M.F.A. student with a photography emphasis.

If you cannot attend in person here is a link to a live stream of the event to join virtually the day of the event.

Here is a short statement from the artist:
Tangled wire, a corroded penny, bat guano, wavelength, sweat and hair, algae, frequency, a white fungal disease, rock, and time. At the heart of Underearth lies a question: how can we be good ancestors? Within the caverns of our choices, Mokry uncovers a violent mark left over the Earth. He shines a spotlight on the complexities of restoration and destruction in nonhuman spaces, to ultimately bury what is transformed to be left alone in the darkness. Will the future look back on our mistakes or focus on our tendency to correct those mistakes? Through photography, sculpture, sound, performance, and installation, Mokry challenges our hierarchy and puts us below the horizon line
