Current Exhibition: Forever Was Never Till Now

Exhibition Open thru September 30, 2022
Gallery Hours: Wed-Fri, 12-5pm

Kala Gallery is excited to present the exhibition Forever Was Never Till Now featuring new works by 2021-2022 Kala Fellowship and Media Residency artists: Jamal Ademola, Esy Casey, Ting Ying Han, Ai Iwane, Alisa Ochoa, Mariana Ramos Ortiz, Ron Moultrie Saunders, Cherrie Yu, and Lena Wolff.

In this exhibition artists explore the power of ritual, craft, repetition, and translation that help us connect, support, and remember our heritage. There are songs, voices and memories from home where it’s difficult to return. These projects are like constellations in the universe. Individually they explore unique subjects and methodologies. Collectively, they enforce one another to bring forward powerful questions and explore ways to break through structures that separate us.
