Curator’s Statement

Being Human during a time lacking humanity. Our eyes, ears, hearts, and souls are open. Being Human should be obvious – no need to discriminate or constantly hate – a need to say humanity is not lost; our habitat condition can be changed, and we can recover and be reborn if love is not over. Learn once again to be human. In this show, every mark we make was created by one hand – our hand – and the finished product would live and breathe as part of a world in which we all are tenants and share.

Curators Jennifer Jean Okumura and Dave Santulli

Declaración del Curador

Ser Humano en una época carente de humanidad. Nuestros ojos, oídos, corazones y almas están abiertos. Ser Humano debería ser obvio: no hay necesidad de discriminar ni odiar constantemente; es necesario decir que la humanidad no está perdida; nuestra condición de hábitat puede cambiar y podemos recuperarnos y renacer si el amor no termina. Aprende una vez más a ser humano. En esta exposición, cada marca que hacemos fue creada por una mano – nuestra mano – y el producto terminado viviría y respiraría como parte de un mundo en el que todos somos inquilinos y compartimos.
