Orlando artist Laura \u201cLajubu\u201d Buitrago premieres a new and immersive multimedia exhibition this week, encapsulating paintings, installation work and performance in one heady brew. <\/p>\n

Thank You, Shadow wrestles with concepts of shadow, light, self-discovery and collective understanding, with the Latina LGBTQ+ artist presenting her work as a literal journey, where the viewer may choose different paths and participate in and augment her art with their own truths at points in the exhibition. <\/p>\n

On the opening Thursday night \u2014 starting at 6 p.m. \u2014 only, there will be a one-off interpretive dance performance by Michelina Moen and Cristina Ramos. Buy the ticket (though it\u2019s free!), take the ride. <\/p>\n

Check out CityArts\u2019 new downstairs caf\u00e9 while you\u2019re down there, you\u2019ll be glad you did. <\/p>\n

Opens Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. Show hangs through Dec. 12, CityArts, 39 S. Magnolia Ave., downtownartsdistrict.com<\/a>, free. <\/p>\n
