“Collecting Memories”
June 16 @ 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm
“Collecting Memories” by Ilaamen Pelshaw presents a collection of memories, storytelling, and folklore, celebrating the folktales of Latin America, mainly from her homeland, Guatemala. The bold colors, patterns, and themes are recollections of the collective imagination that inspired her while growing up. Pelshaw aims to translate into visual form the fantastical tales and characters passed down by oral tradition through generations, offering a contemporary approach to Latin American aesthetics, traditions, and tales.
There’s a free Pom-pom Workshop on June 27 from 10 a.m. to noon in the gallery. It’s free and open to ages 12+. Register here.
The Artist Talk is July 8 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibition runs through July 11.
