Alums Jade Yumang MFA ’12, Joiri Minaya BFA ’13, and Sara Jimenez MFA ’13 and current faculty, will be featured together in a group show at BronxArtSpace, “Historical Amnesia”, opening this weekend.
Historical Amnesia exposes and grapples with the lasting effects of colonialism, exoticism, and intolerance on today’s culture. Featuring Kris Grey, Sara Jimenez, jc lenochan, Joiri Minaya, and Jade Yumang, artists sift through forms of loss, obscurity, and trauma by using the body as a conduit. These artists recover suppressed narratives, giving body to the hushed voices of those who have been relegated to the status of Other.
