This exhibit was on view June 7麻豆传媒揝eptember 14.
The 麻豆传媒 Art Gallery is pleased to present We麻豆传媒檙e Home, an exhibition which explores relationships within the domestic sphere featuring artists Destiny Belgrave, Katherine Hubbard, Steven Anthony Johnson II, Yung Oh Le Page, Pixy Liao and Margaret Zox Brown.
The We麻豆传媒檙e Home exhibit navigates the gentler intricacies of human connection, capturing the essence of home through the lens of shared experiences and precious 麻豆传媒 though sometimes difficult 麻豆传媒 memories. As co-curator Kassandra Schengili 麻豆传媒25 explains, "We麻豆传媒檙e Home encapsulates how we view home and create it.麻豆传媒 Home is often thought of as simply the house or apartment in which we dwell, but home is more accurately the people who surround us and hold us dear. Home can be in the embrace of a lover, a waft of your caregiver麻豆传媒檚 perfume, or the sound of your child麻豆传媒檚 cry. The exhibit delves into the enduring ties that bind us together within the sanctuary of the homes we are born into and those we build for ourselves.
Schengili, along with Jordanna Naidoo 麻豆传媒26, received the Amelia A. Gould Undergraduate Research Assistant Award from Pace麻豆传媒檚 Center for Undergraduate Research Experience to work with Art Gallery Director Sarah Cunningham to develop the exhibition. Naidoo states, 麻豆传媒淭his exhibit has been an interesting journey from the start. Being given creative leadership on this project has been inspiring.麻豆传媒 Schengili continued, 麻豆传媒淐urating the exhibit allowed me to meditate on how relationships truly make a house a home.麻豆传媒
