About this Event
We Gather What Echoes is a group exhibition exploring collage, memory, ancestry, and transformation through the work of five contemporary artists: Jess Owens-Young, Paula Mans, Khadija Jahmila, Brittany Moná, and Mēlani N. Douglass.
Rooted in the traditions of gathering, storytelling, and cultural preservation, the exhibition considers how fragments of the past, family photographs, vintage magazines, textiles, found objects, and inherited memories can be reimagined into something new. Through cutting, layering, stitching, and assembling, each artist transforms familiar materials into powerful expressions of identity, belonging, and collective memory.
Like a musical echo, these works carry the voices of those who came before us, reminding us that the past is never truly gone and it continues to speak through what we create.
