FULLY LOADED: Casey Li Brander’s self portrait bFor the image of the woman holding a gun, Destiny Fulfilled,b 2012Casey Li BranderIn the aftermath of mass shootings like Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Emanuel AME Church in Charleston and two in San Bernardino, California, the push for gun control has reached the forefront again. According to the New York Times, being shot to death in America is about as common as falling to your death from a building in Australia. While the National Rifle Association hosts its 146th annual meeting in Atlanta from April 27-30, Dashboard U.S. presents Unloaded, a multimedia group traveling art show that displays various beliefs about gun control including but not limited to the convenience of sales, manipulation of products and influence on American culture. The exhibition features 30 artists from New York to California, including local artists like Paul Stephen Benjamin, Mary Engel, Brandon English, Nancy Floyd, Paper Frank and Casey Li Brander (whose self portrait bFor the image of the woman holding a gun, Destiny Fulfilled,b 2012, is pictured above), just to name a few. Opening reception: Free. 6-10 p.m. Fri., April 28. On view through May 20. Marcia Wood Gallery, 263 Walker St. S.W. 404-827-0030. www.dashboard.us/unloaded.
