Past Projects

Diasporic Futurism was born out of the desire to showcase and celebrate emerging and established Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) artists whose work reckons with the themes of imagination, identity, place, and joy.

Root Division is excited to present New Growth 2020 – an annual Youth Art Exhibition + Extravaganza featuring hands-on family art making activities, alongside an exhibition of student artwork from Root Division’s free after school Youth Education Program.

Reflections On Exile showcases multi-disciplinary works focused on elements of identity, diaspora, migration, and resilience. Curated Jeanette Alanis, the terrain for Reflections On Exile is global in its scale as it highlights challenging elements between human and land separation.

At the center of SIMMER are the spaces, forms, and narratives that emerge through durational process. The artwork exhibited in this group exhibition encourages viewers to sit within the work, allowing materials and conclusions to unfold and reveal themselves over time.

Root Division is thrilled to exhibit work by 23 artists from 9 states, representing 9 ethnicities, exploring how we define and interact with the borders that surround us. Borders, an exhibition about lines and how we cross them, includes a range of art forms such as interactive sculpture, video, photography, installation, performance, and new media.

Call for Beauty challenges assumptions about the concept of beauty while honoring the historical and ongoing creative presence of black artists in the Bay Area. Curated by the 3.9 Art Collective, Call for Beauty addresses traditional and emergent notions of beauty through the manipulation of materials, forms, and space.
