Event Host: Urban Arts Space
Short Description: The landscape has been historically divvied, claimed, colonized, imparted with ownership that claims it as a commodity that must be held close, staunchly, with resolve.

The landscape has been historically divvied, claimed, colonized, imparted with ownership that claims it as a commodity that must be held close, staunchly, with resolve. The landscape, though, is one that shifts, grows, and holds no promise of stability. As collaborators, the visual artists in this exhibition find this a fruitful metaphor to connect their practices—two ways of making that honor permeability, erosion, leakiness, and connection. Through their making, holding one’s ground takes on new meaning, suggesting that stability is found in accepting that all things change—memories, ecologies, and the land on which they stand.
