What has happened here? Why is the country so divided, some say on the brink of Civil War? After viewing Heidi Neff’s animated short the Long Goodbye, a personal documentary of the time between Election Day 2020 and Inauguration Day 2021, the artist will discuss themes present in the project with panelists Elifnaz Caliskan, MPP, political scientist and public policy expert; Stephanie Hallock, PhD, Professor of Political Science and Regina Roof Ray, MEd, Associate Professor of Psychology. Themes for the discussion include political divisiveness, how we are living through a party realignment—a rare occurrence in American History which is always tumultuous—and how phenomena such cognitive inflexibility, confirmation bias, and misinformation effects have created a situation where people are unable to come together, even to agree on facts.
Heidi Neff is Professor of Art + Design at Harford Community College in Bel Air, Maryland, where she was granted a sabbatical to work on animations for the Spring semester of 2020. Despite headaches of online teaching, small children, and a love/hate relationship with technology, Heidi makes apocalyptic animations with a hand-drawn/hand-painted aesthetic. Heidi earned her MFA from University of Iowa and her BFA from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She makes her home in Maryland with her husband, Paul Chuffo, and their two children, Max and Maya.

A native of Turkey, she has lived across 8 cities around the globe across 3 continents. She is currently baesd in Washington DC, and is a proud alumna of University of Maryland (MPP and BA). Caliskan sees herself a storyteller and aspires to help marginalized communities to tell their stories.
Professor Regina Roof Ray is Associate Professor of Psychology at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD. Roof-Ray brings her expertise in social psychology and will explore how phenomena such as personality, cognitive inflexibility, confirmation bias, and misinformation effect. She has presented at national conferences including the National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology and was a founding organizer of the Mid-Atlantic Undergraduate Psychology Conference.

Virtual Reception, Heidi Neff: "The Long Goodbye"
Virtual Reception from 6:30 PM EST on Friday, 1/22 via this Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87350010998
Free and open to the public.
Join artist Heidi Neff as she discusses her process creating "The Long Goodbye": leading up to the election, Neff decided to make one frame-by-frame animation every day beginning on Election Day and ending on Inauguration Day itself. It is by nature a personal diary reflecting on all of the possible outcomes - and resulting worries – of this time period. Like the several months preceding it, there was plenty of madness to spare on a daily basis. Neff shares the YouTube premiere of this completed work as part of this virtual reception, followed by a Q&A with Amos Eno gallery director Audra Lambert. Please join us for the half hour long program and feel free to ask the artist questions at the conclusion of the virtual opening!
This exhibition also features limited edition prints available for purchase. An Artsy link will be added here once these works are live and available for sale (once the exhibition is open.)
