SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS

DIRECTED BY PETER WRAY

FEBRUARY 13 – MARCH 15

Preview February 12
ASL Interpreted Performance February 20

Six strangers find themselves at a silent retreat in the woods, each seeking connection while struggling with their own, silent, inner demons. Both awkwardly hilarious and strangely compassionate, Small Mouth Sounds asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

In a single room, three women slip between fantasy and reality, acting out the moments they’re too afraid to live in real life. What begins as playful role-play becomes a raw excavation of longing, connection, and the emotional legacies passed between mothers, sisters, and lovers.

Blending the sharp wit of a romantic comedy with the searching depth of an existential drama, Trinity is a lyrical, layered portrait of womanhood that’s as funny as it is fearless. As NPR so aptly put it, “Waithe’s TV shows and films are powerful empathy engines”—and Trinity brings that same emotional truth to the stage. Directed by BCS Artistic Director Stevie Walker-Webb, you’ll want to see it more than once to catch every subtle shift, every emotional turn, and every truth just beneath the surface.

Big Bang Baby transforms ancestral divinity, folklore, and science into a radiant universe of light, color, and controlled chaos. At its center are fantastical feminine figures creating universes and experiencing their own divinity. Inspired by Afro-Dominican spiritual traditions of “carrying a mystery,” as well as Native Taíno Zemi goddesses, LUSMERLIN celebrates the gift of spiritual presence and creation in women. Across pastel, acrylic and LED-lit sculptural forms, the exhibition asks: What does it mean to be stardust, to be a source of divinity?

Towson University Department of Art + Design, Art History, and Art Education Faculty present examples of their recent aesthetic concerns in a broad range of media.

Rob Cook - Take a Hike: Cook’s sculptures and drawings investigate recent scientific research indicating positive correlations between spending time in nature and well-being, primarily through a sustainable practice incorporating fallen trees, invasive species, and plant waste to express his ideas. Rob's mission is to inspire attendees to interact with nature and to take a hike.

Kari Miller - To Whom It May Concern: Miller explores the beauty, joy and complexities in parenting a child with a disability while working in collaboration with her daughter who has Down syndrome. To Whom It May Concern is an ongoing conversation surrounding the impact of the history of institutionalizing individuals with an intellectual and developmental disability. This immersive installation dives deeper into educational policy, practices and experiences with audio interviews from teachers, parents and former students that have a disability.

Electra Lowe - Made From Scratch: Lowe untangles the labor and rituals of home to reveal the hidden threads of gender, labor, and consumption. Using tactile materials, symbolic foods, and altered domestic objects, the installation critiques the patriarchal structures embedded in everyday rituals—specifically, who eats, who serves, and who is seen.

For thousands of years, East Asia’s cultures have viewed human life as part of a much larger system that encompasses the natural world. Drawn from the BMA’s collection, this exhibition boasts more than 40 objects—from magnificent ink drawings to beautifully crafted stoneware and poignant contemporary photographs and prints. They bring into the galleries the mountains and seas, wild and supernatural animals, and plant life that are extensive across East Asian imagery and often carry symbolic meaning.

Works on view include robust 13th-century ceramic vessels, delicate porcelain, carved jade, intricately sewn textiles, and large-scale photography; collectively, these artworks represent the impulse to fully understand the natural world as foundational to our existence, as shaped by human life, and as an enduring metaphor of survival.
