2nd Saturday February 2022: Water is Thicker Than Blood Closing

Join Root Division this February for Water is Thicker Than Blood, a new exhibition curated by Rachel Poonsiriwong.

This exhibition explores the complexities of intergenerational and familial traumas alongside pathways to healing. This group exhibition highlights artists whose work has nurtured vulnerable spaces that reflect on emotional, cultural, or geographical rifts.

At its heart, Water is Thicker than Blood  investigates the weaving of trauma into domesticity and genealogical systems. On a personal level, the pieces featured in Water is Thicker than Blood carry artists’ intimate expressions of grief, longing, and discomfort. Collectively, this exhibition surfaces the intersectionality of familial rifts and traumas with many immigrant and diasporic experiences.

We can't wait to see you at our February 2nd Saturday closing event!

 

As we transition back into in-person events, our 2nd Saturday reception will be open for a limited number of guests*, so we request that you RSVP in advance. We're excited to see you in person!
