Lore Re-Imagined: Shadows of Our Ancestors

Guest curated by Chieko Phillips, Lore Re-Imagined places our ideas about preserving cultural memory center stage. Indigenous groups and marginalized communities have long relied on non-written transmission of stories, art forms and other knowledge to maintain a historical record and sustain their cultures and identities. This lore is often kept informally within families or preserved formally within museum collections. Lore Re-Imagined features artists who are also guarding cultural memory by giving it an active place in their contemporary practice.
