Artist and professor Kevin Haran is presenting 'Engines of Dominion,' a military-themed exhibition of drawings and cardboard sculptures at Gulf Coast State College's Amelia Center Gallery in Panama City, Florida. The show runs from January 20 to February 20, 2026, with a closing reception and gallery talk on February 20. Haran, a faculty member at the University of Central Florida's School of Visual Arts and Design, draws creative influence from family military service and artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Ron Cobb.
The exhibition matters because it offers a timely reflection on how military power is projected and perceived amid ongoing U.S. discussions about potential involvement in Iran, Greenland, and Venezuela. By bringing this conversation to a community college gallery, the show engages a local audience with pressing geopolitical issues through accessible, handmade art forms like cardboard sculpture, bridging contemporary art and public discourse.
