Home as a hole

an exhibition featuring collaborative artworks by two artists, Ash Stone and tom manzanarez. Through introspection of their upbringings, they revisit the personal challenges of growing up queer in working-class populations while reckoning with their racial identities. The exhibition serves as a bold exploration of themes such as outsiderness, assimilation, feeling inadequacies from being mixed race, and the complexities of navigating childhood with inequitable resources. These artists share the intersections of their identity and their stories as a way to celebrate and reflect on resilience, love, and self-discovery through decolonizing notions of sexuality, gender, and heritage.

Living the dream

MFA Thesis Exhibition, Living The Dream, revisits memory with agency to question inheritance and generational ways of being. By playing in the space between pride and shame, this work uses industrialized food, like hot dogs, as a tool to grapple with the absurdity of Americanization and lost identity.
