Mapping Above Below by Anna Hogg will be on view from June 7-27 at New City Arts’ Welcome Gallery and will explore ideas of mapping and being mapped, surveillance, and the world beyond humans. The work critically engages with surveillance and its technology by beginning with the February 2023 surveillance balloon incident, and further reinterpreting the events through both parafiction and science fiction lenses.

About the Artist (courtesy of the artist)
Anna Hogg (she/they) is an artist and filmmaker whose work addresses the relationship between memory and the body archive. These investigations extend to the collective feminine that gathers memory, its objects and stories, the archive as affected by trauma, the intergenerational archive, as well as the ever-accruing archive of daily media and news sources. Within these contexts, one finds that the act of remembering and forgetting, preserving and refusing, are often intimately connected, and the boundary that divides them more fluid. She holds an MFA in Film & Video from the California Institute of the Arts and now teaches at the University of Virginia.
Located at 114 3rd St. NE on Charlottesville’s downtown pedestrian mall, New City Arts’ Welcome Gallery supports artists who live in the Charlottesville area.
