"Familiar Distances" A Group Exhibition Curated by Victoria Ravelo
Familiar Distances presents the work of artists who invite us to investigate the collective human condition from which our consciousness, agency and experience emerge. The practices of these artists are rooted in the past and present, using memory, spirituality, myth, and fiction as a means to explore the complexities that make up our life experience. Familiar Distances brings together a diverse group of individuals who invest in building and shaping their worldviews through allegory as a form of ascension and resilience.
