“Hanging Up Our Masks?” by artist Ben Jackel is created from porcelain and maple wood. It is included in the 25th anniversary exhibition, “Uncanny Times: Looking Back, Looking Forward” at Seidel City in Boulder through November 13.

The Artnauts, based in Boulder, have traveled the world since 1996 to bring their art to countries in conflict. The art collective, created by CU Boulder professors, is on a mission to address global strife. It's holding its 25th anniversary exhibition, "Uncanny Times: Looking Back, Looking Forward," at Seidel City in Boulder through November 13. Ceramicist Martha Russo has been in the Artnauts since it started and spoke with Andrea Dukakis.
