WSS Artist Faculty Spotlight

Tactics for Remembering invites viewers to reflect on the notion of home as a fluid and emotional space—shaped by memory, the body, and absence. Curated by Fabiola R. Delgado as part of MoCA Arlington’s Global Spotlight series, the exhibition intentionally “bends the frame,” expanding the lens beyond national boundaries toward an affective geography: Cuba-Zuela, a linguistic hybrid that is reclaimed to affirm the historical and cultural kinship between Cuba and Venezuela. The two nations, bound by the Caribbean Sea, are marked by parallel struggles, and linked by two sister diasporas. The sea –a body that simultaneously connects and separates– becomes a symbolic axis in the exhibition: connecting people on “the other side of the water” and holding within its cyclical tides stories of power, migration, survival, and rebirth.

Join WSS Artist faculty Chinedu Felix Osuchukwu for an artist talk discussing his works on paper in In the Moment exhbition, moderated by Woolly Mammoth Artist in Residence Sheldon Scott on Friday, December 19 @ 6pm.

Selected works by artists Marie B. Gauthiez and Griffin Allman are brought together to visually investigate the different ways in which moments and recollections are recontextualized, in an attempt to memorialize the various experiences that inform their perceptions of self. Using drawing, painting, and collage, Gauthiez and Allman engage hiding and revealing as core strategies to examine the complexities of vulnerability and preservation of memories. Studio Break is located in West Chicago, Illinois

Statement: SACRAMENTS examines rites of passage through a feminist rather than secular lens. Historically, the rites ascribed to women have been socially constructed to demarcate specific, often biologically determined stages of life—most notably those associated with sexual maturity, fertility, and reproduction. SACRAMENTS deconstructs and reclaims these pivotal moments, situating them within the context of female subjectivity. By decentering inherited cultural and religious frameworks the featured artwork reimagines how women might define and experience their own rites of passage—on their own terms, and within their own symbolic vocabularies.
