The Lyndon House Arts Center is pleased to announce the Fall Series of exhibitions featuring Interwoven Narrative: Caul and Response by Sachi Rome and Tokie Rome-Taylor, opening on Thursday, October 2, 2025 and on view through January 24, 2026. Artist reception is October 2 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Artist talk in the West Gallery on Thursday, November 13 at 5:30 p.m. 

Interwoven Narratives: Caul and Response is a collaborative exploration by twin sisters Sachi Rome and Tokie Rome-Taylor. Blending photographic realism and abstract expressionism, the exhibition draws on southern folklore of the caul and W.E.B. Du Bois' concept of double consciousness as entry points into their work.

The caul, a folkloric veil said to protect and connect one to the spiritual realm, becomes a metaphor for identity—both shielding and revealing. Intertwined with Du Bois' notion of double consciousness, it reflects the liminal space Black Americans navigate: seeing themselves through their own eyes while also through the gaze of others.

Through this lens, the artists invite viewers to consider the tensions between inner identity and societal expectations. The caul, as folklore suggests, binds narratives across realms, offering insight and protection while symbolizing the unseen forces that shape lives. Interwoven Narratives: Caul and Response calls us to reflect on these shared cultural spaces and the layered, ongoing story of the African American experience.

All exhibitions at Lyndon House Arts Center are free of charge and open to the public.  Exhibitions are on view during regular gallery hours Tuesday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  Children must be accompanied by an adult.  The Lyndon House Arts Center is closed on Saturdays when there is a University of Georgia home football game.
