SUMMARY:TOM KIEFER: El Sueño Americano
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, September 23 \nMembers Preview 5-6 pm \nTom Kiefer in Conversation with Liz Allen 6 – 6:30 pm \nPublic Reception 6-8 \nTOM KIEFER: EL SUEÑO AMERICANO / THE AMERICAN DREAM \nSEPTEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 23\, 2023 \nTom Kiefer: El Sueño Americano / The American Dream is a photographic documentation of the personal belongings carried by migrants and those seeking asylum that were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at a processing facility near the artist’s home in Ajo\, Arizona\, about 40 miles from the U.S./Mexico border. U.S. border agents deemed these belongings as non-essential or potentially lethal. Kiefer asks the viewer to consider these photographs as untold and unknown stories\, markers of human journeys cut short\, creating a personal connection for the viewer that extends compassion and empathy to those who make the dangerous journey across the desert to seek a better life.

SUMMARY:Christine Cassano: QUADRIVIUM
DESCRIPTION:CHRISTINE CASSANO: QUADRIVIUM \nJune 29 – September 28\, 2024 in the Project Gallery \nQUADRIVIUM is a sound instrument as well as a soundscape installation. A light push from the hand engages the forty-nine suspended bronze pieces to play sound and create a mediative environment—a space where matter\, energy and vibration connect. The installation can be experienced by walking around it\, sitting nearby or by laying back on the seated platform underneath it. Its title\, “Quadrivium” is the Latin word meaning “where four roads meet—a crossroads” and references a curriculum established during the Renaissance era consisting of four subjects: Arithmetic\, Geometry\, Harmonics & Astronomy.

SUMMARY:EVER PRESENT: Guillermo Galindo & José Luis Sotero Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:5:00 – 6:00pm Members Preview\n6:00pm Artists’ Talk\n6:00 – 8:00pm Public Reception \nEVER PRESENT: Guillermo Galindo & José Luis Sotero presents two Mexican artists whose work reflects upon their experiences of migration. Guillermo Galindo (San Francisco\, CA)\, an acclaimed Mexican-born artist and U.S. citizen\, composer\, and performer\, shares his newest project Sonic Biogenesis\, an installation commenting on genetics\, mobility\, and the environment. José Luis Sotero (Nogales\, Sonora\, MX)\, a self-taught Mexican painter\, presents his recent paintings El lado oscuro de la migracion (the dark side of migration) using pictorial surrealism to depict the stories of people who seek refuge from violence and poverty in hope of a better life. While both artists have long worked with themes of migration\, their work reflects distinctly different perspectives and expressions. This exhibition is mindful of the important role of immigration at the center of the American experience\, and current conversations on immigration taking place in the U.S.\, with increased awareness in border states such as Arizona.

SUMMARY:"SAMARITANS" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:In the shadow of remarkable human struggle\, “Samaritans” weaves a poignant narrative of hope and humanity on the US-Mexico border\, shedding light on dedicated volunteers who challenge the harsh realities of migration through unwavering compassion and life- saving aid. After the film\, join Writer and Director David Damian Figueroa for a Q&A. \nFilm Synopsis:\n“Samaritans” immerses viewers in the harrowing yet heartwarming story of the dedicated older American volunteers known as the Samaritans\, who have been steadfast in their mission to provide humanitarian aid along one of the world’s deadliest migration routes. \nFilmed over three years\, including the backdrop of the “Great Migration of 2024\,” this powerful documentary navigates the severe challenges faced by tens of thousands of migrants seeking asylum in the United States\, while simultaneously highlighting the transformative impact of community and compassion. \nSet against the stark desert landscapes of Southern Arizona\, where temperatures can be unbearably high in the summer and frigidly low in the winter\, the film intimately captures the fierce dedication of “extreme volunteers’—individuals who risk their safety to confront systemic inequities and provide vital assistance. With access to the frontlines where tragedy and resilience collide\, “Samaritans” humanizes those navigating perilous journeys filled with desperation\, determination\, and a relentless pursuit of a better life. \nThis documentary serves as a tribute not only to the countless migrants who have sacrificed their lives seeking the American Dream but also to the advocates who refuse to disregard their plight. Through their stories\, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the critical need for compassion and systemic change in the face of a humanitarian immigration crisis.
