Extraterrestrial Encounters
An Exhibition by Be Boggs and Slater Mapp
Do you believe, or know, that intelligent life exists outside of Earth?
In April 2025 the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) discovered what could be a collection of extraterrestrial artifacts in an abandoned warehouse in Raleigh, North Carolina.
These visitors seem to be obsessed with Earth and all its lifeforms. They learned how to use cameras and fibers to make interpretations of what they encountered. According to the experts, these beings seem to be creating art as a way to explain what Earth is to their home planet.
This collection is all the evidence we have of their existence.
We do not know why they came here, what they want, or if they are friends or foes.
Some may even appear to be familiar faces…people you know who have been here all along.
Come see this evolving exhibition of extraterrestrial art @birdlandraleigh and discover what belonging on Earth looks and sounds like through the outsiders lens.
