Ancestral Archives
Exploring the dynamics of family and self, while shedding light on how these relationships shape our personhood, Ancestral Archives aims to delve into the complexities of familial interactions and the courageous act of breaking cycles.
With this exhibition we hope to foster a broader dialogue about collective healing - revisiting the past, reimagining the future, and underscoring the transformative power of addressing and overcoming inherited traumas. This exhibition not only reflects on individual journeys but will also invite viewers to contemplate their own roles in the ongoing process of healing and renewal.
Featured artists include Christen Austin, Ashley Cole, Rachel Colón, Jayna Dias, Jorge Gomez-Gonzalez, Madelyn Inez, Maia Ramirez-Beaver, Candace Nina Reyes, Kimberly Robertson (Mvskoke), Li Rothrock, Brandon Sağlam, Dionna Sharay Smith, Leticia Clementina Thomas, Shari Wei, and Taylor Wisham. Plus, student work from Las Photos Project.
