Thesis Exhibitions

Intimate public gatherings for shared study. Our exhibitions curate the individual studies from local artists and archivists into a collective learning experience for our community.

A contextualizing archive for ancestral, intuitive, and subjective memory-keeping. Consisting of material, written, visual, and sonic ephemera this archive is oriented by our intuitive pedagogy and interdependent research development. Thesis collections and exhibitions are regularly produced to concentrate the archive’s scope and engage in re-membering as a social practice.

Free People Time Installation

January — Juneteenth, 2022 at Reparations Club in Los Angeles, CA

The inagural ‘retail residency’ at Rep Club allowed us to seed our thesis ‘Free People Time’ into the Greater LA community through this concept bookshop and creative space.

Free your time. Free your mind. Liberation looks like leisure. Sacred stillness. Beings invaluable, irrespective of doings. Free People Time! Time is a tool. Refusal is a weapon. Slow down and embrace the pace of the Divine. Godspeed is Free People Time. Know all you do is aligned.
