Reception: Saturday, January 19, 5-8 pm
Interactive Artist Talk: Saturday, February 23, 2-4 pm
In collaboration with Casa de La Cultura El Salvador, artist and educator Muriel Hasbun invites the public to post their family photos and write their own migration story onto the gallery walls. Along with a collage-like bilingual sound piece that weaves together Hasbun’s own reflections on migration as gathered from oral testimonies and other aural impressions recorded in El Salvador, Documented is conceived as a space for dialogue beyond borders, and for the sharing of individual and collective memory through family photos and documents. It is a space where individuals can express their allegiance to multiple languages, cultures and places, and where the past and the present are neither erased nor left undocumented.

Akemi Maegawa “Every Day: A Journey”
January 14 – March 9, 2019
Reception: Saturday, January 19, 5-8 pm
Akemi Maegawa’s sculptural work is rooted in the constant search of a place of peace. She embraces the dichotomies of life—that which liberates and that which restraints—as she questions both the rational and the emotional. Her process is based on her gut feeling; the work produced ultimately a reaction to that which she cannot explain.
