The Shape of Memory
July 2nd - september 3rd
The Shape of Memory explores the ways architecture, design, and history hold the traces of human experience. Buildings are never only structures; they are containers of memory, shaped by the people who design them, inhabit them, alter them, preserve them, and sometimes leave them behind. Through works that engage form, space, material, pattern, and place, this exhibition considers how the built environment carries stories across time.
The exhibition invites viewers to look at architecture not simply as function or style, but as a living record of culture, identity, labor, and change. A doorway, façade, floor plan, ornament, ruin, or domestic object can reveal how communities imagine themselves and how histories become embedded in physical space. Design becomes a language through which memory is organized, protected, interrupted, and reinterpreted.
Featuring artwork by Richard Mogas, Michael Drahl, Shea Daniel-Youngblood and Alston Cox.
