It’s the last week to get uncomfortable at St. Pete’s Morean Center For Clay.

Your guide is folk ceramist and teacher Dakota Parkinson whose hands, heart and other body parts are the center of “Uncomfortable As I Am” (stylized in all-lowercase).

The show—featuring ceramic sculpture along with installation and performance—explores the idea of empathy as the Missouri-reared artist “confronts the ideas of discomfort and transness with a challengingly intimate lens.”

There’s no cover to see “Uncomfortable As I Am: Solo Exhibition by Dakota Parkinson” at Morean Center for Clay in St. Petersburg on select days through July 31.

Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
