Opening Reception:
Wednesday, May 3rd, from 6-8pm
Main Gallery
The evening will include a live performance by Alba Quintero Retis and a short film by Aishia Sampson. RSVP Here. Free, open to public.
Retis’ live performance deals with the complexities of relationships, whether familial, friendship, or romantic. Using the backdrop of her personal life, Runner Up and Generations of Swallowing mediate the meanings of care, nurture, and maternal love. Runner Up contemplates the difficulties of motherhood, especially when the role of the maternal figure becomes contested. Generations of Swallowing highlights how the lack of agency for women enacts generational trauma in Latinx families. Retis further contextualizes the themes of these songs through the exploitation of the flora, fauna, and bodies in the Americas, reminding us all that the personal is forever the political. .
