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.

I.E. To The World

November 11 — December 3, 2023 at Alliance Community Cultural Center in Downtown Pomona

Today the people living out the supposed fulfillment of the American Dream in suburbia are awakening in the darkness of dawn for graveyard shifts at fulfillment centers and other limited opportunities for upward, onward, and free movements.

If this so called American Dream ends in the suburbs, how may we move wayward, from the I.E. To The World? How may we move free from the colonial indoctrination to live in a remembrance of our intuitive rhythms and indigenous wisdoms?

This group showcase was produced through an open call facilitated by ITS-IN-SCOPE to continue exploring Telepathic Rhythms by focusing on the diaspoic migratory experience that occurs in the transition from the inner city to the American suburbs.
