On Land

June 17—August 27, 2023

On Land presents the work of nine 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. Guest curated by Chris Kerr.

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