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.

ORI Sees

September 17 — October 10, 2021 at Memoryhaus 555 in Historic South Central Los Angeles, CA

Timeless tools designed to attune our beings, ancestral technology harmonizes our nature. Adornment of the ORI continues as sacred practice, an ancient invention that catalyzes our physical connection to our intuition. These technologies serve to liberate us from the death-dealing surveillance tactics of the western world. Our ancestors are calling us to mind our business and have archived blueprints to support our stillness.
