Human Nature II: Future Worlds Opening @ SOFA Gallery (IU Campus).

Human Nature is a two-part exhibition of visual art and scientific imaging. This project will use examples of contemporary visual art to examine our relationship to nature and current explorations in the life sciences. It is necessary for our culture to understand and gather information about new research in biotechnology, mapping the genome, cloning, genetic engineering, stem cell research, and other issues. Contemporary artists are creating works about the humanistic, cultural, biological and ethical concerns related to these themes and can provide timely insight and an access point for cultural reflection.

The show runs through March 9.

What is the logic behind this preference of interracial dating? What are some controversies these interracial couples face? Should we promote interracial dating to contribute to the ideal of the USA as a melting pot, or should we date within our race to keep our Asian culture alive? Is it possible to do both? Come share your thoughts about inter-“asial” dating with us!
