The Afterlife with works by Byron Keith Byrd, Alex Heria and Franklin Sinanan is an exhibition that explores the concept of the afterlife in fanciful, thoughtful, and probing ways. Whether an individual believes in God, Allah, Buddha, Jesus, Zeus or a Higher Power, the afterlife is a core concept for most religions. Using different iconic religious symbols in their work, Byrd, Heria and Sinanan create a cultural mash-up that may evoke reaction from avid practitioners.

This show features the sculpture of London Tsai and the drawings of Judith Berk King.
