Together We Can Rule This Land introduces tools for understanding and interpreting the process of cultural diffusion and homogenization: the unfamiliar becomes familiar; the unfamiliar is made familiar. Hybridized images and objects, each utilizing or involving a combination of text, signifiers, and materials ask viewers to consider what intercultural processes mean to them. The title speaks to [the artist’s] interest in interdisciplinary and trans-cultural crossovers between revitalization of historical methods, materials, and approaches combined with daily living in the present.
Together We Can Rule This Land was on display in the State of Flux Gallery from April 8, 2023 to May 27, 2023.
