Reception June 17 | 2 - 4pm
On Land presents the work of eleven emerging and established Bay Area artists who mine a range of explosive and restorative approaches to the natural world. Their artworks address oppressive structures of power, Feminist and Indigenous recomposition, and spiritual, sensorial interdependence with the Earth. Their variety of mediums and vista points on land encourage and enact widening relations with nature and place and thus deepening experiences of each other.

Artists in the exhibition: Cynthia Brannvall, Victor Cartagena, Ocean Escalanti, Don Hankins, Claudia Huenchuleo Paquien, Hughen/Starkweather, Colter Jacobsen, Vanessa Norton, Rachelle Reichert, and Angelica Trimble-Yanu.
