Written in 1920, this brilliant satire examines what could happen when robots free humans to pursue “…things such as perfecting themselves rather than toiling long days just for bread.” With sharp wit, provocative ideas, and eerie relevance to today’s AI boom, Čapek’s prescient masterpiece is a cautionary tale for all.”

“Mohamed Gabriel and Charde’ Brown”
Centennial Art Gallery, Kent
Through Friday, Feb. 27
“Charde’ Brown is a self-taught visual artist based in Auburn, and the creative force behind Mirrors of Melanin. Her powerful body of work uses acrylics, mixed media, and soft/oil pastels to explore themes of emotional depth, mental health, and cultural identity. Her art offers a raw and therapeutic lens into her personal journey as a Black woman and single mother. Inspired by her daughter, Brown also creates regal portraits of Black youth, celebrating their brilliance and affirming their place as future leaders and innovators. Through Mirrors of Melanin, Brown aims to create a sanctuary for those who feel unseen or misrepresented. Her work invites viewers to look beyond the surface.
Mohamed Gabriel’s work is an exploration of human experience in relation to place, time, and memory. Through photography he seeks to document the subtle, often overlooked moments that define the rhythm of daily life—scenes where light, movement, and emotion converge to tell quiet yet powerful stories. Much of his imagery focuses on the interplay between people and their environments. He is drawn to the textures of life—the weathered hands of a fisherman, the joy and innocence of strangers, the way the sun filters through a market alley—each frame an intimate reflection of resilience, existence, and change. His work is about pausing to witness the beauty in the ordinary, the poetry in the fleeting, and the universal truths that connect us all.”

Admission is free.
Gallery is open Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
