TOTEM: As Ephemera is a group exhibition in dialogue with the new book, TOTEM: As Monument & Archive by Erin Turner, published by This Land Press. Together, the exhibition and the book raise questions about ephemeral everyday actions—gestures meant to last only briefly—that, instead of disappearing, can be traced and collected, allowing us to understand the present in conversation with a past that remains. The book and the exhibition combine to weave connections across moments of history, puncturing the singular narrative written by those in power. The exhibition features artists whose work reflects on history, resists its linearity, and probes the power of cultural appropriation.
Contributing artists include: Bear Allison, Antonio Andrews / No Parking Studios, Ashanti Chaplin, Jeremy Charles, Yatika Starr Fields, Auguste Garufi, Amy Wheeler Harwood, Steve Paul Judd, Ryan McGahan, Gabriel Rico, and Erin Turner.
Performances by: Agalisiga ‘chuj’ Mackey, Alicia Chesser, and Erin Turner.
This event is free and open to the public. RSVP at the link in the comments.
