The first drawing in Ajuan Mance’s sketchbook-journal-art-project series, 1001 Black Men, is the torso of a shirtless, African-American man — inspired by the men who play basketball on the corner of Brookdale and High in East Oakland. The last is a drawing of her own father.

Please join us Thursday, July 27th  from 6-8PM for the opening reception of Rachel Farmer's instalation, ANCESTORS TRAVERSING QUILTS. During the reception our Director, Gonzalo Casals will give an informal talk about Farmer's work and process before giving the stage to Farmer to answer any questions.  We hope you can attend! “My work draws inspiration from a variety of sources: my Mormon pioneer ancestry, childhood play with ceramic figurines, my grandmother’s quilts, historical dioramas, and pop culture’s invented mythologies of the American West.  This installation grew out of pouring over my great-great-grandfather’s diary chronicling his immigrant journey from England to Utah Territory in 1853­­­—while confronting the absence of information about my great-great-grandmother who made the same journey, as a single woman without family, in 1855. I would like to acknowledge that these quilts were made possible by the communal efforts of many. In gratitude.” -Rachel Farmer
