Always surprising, from poetic transformations of confiscated weaponry to an exhibition devoted to sounds, USFCAM has always been on the forefront of inter-cultural consciousness, presenting exhibitions with a social impact and steadily growing connections outside the academic realm. You’d think there’d be a hefty admission fee to be in on their secrets, but it’s still totally free to visit CAM. Currently showing: A Family Affair, seven artists who explore personal identity and family relationships through photography, video, performance and animation, including Renee Cox, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Kalup Linzy, Jacolby Satterwhite, Hank Willis Thomas, Corine Vermeulen and Deborah Willis. Through Dec. 12.
