The Mary S. Byrd Gallery of Art at Augusta University presents Bows and Blunted Scissors, a solo exhibition by Ali Hval, on view from March 19 to May 8, 2026. A public reception will be held on Thursday, March 19, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Admission is free.

Working across ceramics, fabric, and installation, Hval creates oversized, highly decorative sculptures that explore femininity, identity, and cultural expectation. Her glittering surfaces and playful materials draw viewers in while revealing layered narratives of feminist critique, humor, and personal experience.
