Curated by Mashonda Tifrere, the exhibition is framed conceptually through Ringgold’s relationship to UC San Diego, where she served as professor of visual arts from 1984 to 2002. This institutional affiliation provides a lens for understanding how her academic philosophy materialized throughout her practice and impacted not only those she mentored at UC San Diego, but generations of artists around the world.

Luckman Gallery, Cal State University, Los Angeles, CA

The title of the exhibition borrows a description of Arlene Mejorado’s practice as “an act of care, via a tender excavation of objects, anecdotes, and memories simultaneously.” A Tender Excavation centers identities that have been systematically excluded from mainstream narratives and representations of not only American art but of representing an “American” identity.

Document, Chicago, IL

This intergenerational dialogue between the work of Jimmy DeSana (b. 1949 – d. 1990) and Paul Mpagi Sepuya (b. 1982) unfolds as a set of carefully matched pairings. Both artists use photography to engage with queer bodies and the politics of representation, implicating the viewer as much as any figure who appears in the frame.
