Circular Stories is an exhibition of pieces that explore the enduring, yet constantly shifting nature of our world. I am interested in the many cycles that we see around us. The life cycle, for example, moves in a constant loop of birth, life, death, decomposition, and birth once again.

The liminal expands across a spatio-temporal divide, limning demarcations between inside and outside, now and then, here and there, and us and them. Reaching for it, we might bump up against, and sometime erode, boundaries between the known and the unfamiliar. Yet, working through liminality engages not only with phenomenological experience but with processes and enactments.

This year’s juried exhibition invited photographers to look outward—questioning the social, political, and environmental forces that shape our world. The selected works confront how we see, what we overlook, and the truths that demand our attention in a time of cultural and ecological reckoning. Juried by Marvin Heiferman.

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.

M(other) Tongue brings together artists who use textile to examine the interconnected experiences of migration, displacement, and cultural inheritance. Drawing on textile traditions rooted in women’s domestic and communal practices, the works approach stitching, weaving, and dyeing as forms of mark making; methods of carrying ancestral stories across borders and generations.

March 14 – April 18, 2026

TECHNE, Oceanside, CA

Across works that juxtapose Eastern philosophy with Western expression, the exhibition treats photography as a living language — a space where cultural boundaries blur, merge, and generate new forms of visual understanding. This is a deliberate experiment in Dialogue · Fusion · Rebirth: artists invite us to reframe perception rather than confirm familiar binaries.
