Preetika Rajgariah
about time
Preetika Rajgariah’s exhibition, about time, brings together culturally charged materials such as yoga mats and saris to examine cultural appropriation, body politics, intersectionality, and longing. Her work moves between memory and material, asking how the body carries history and how inherited narratives shape the way we are seen, and see ourselves. The figure, often her own, anchors the exhibition. Rajgariah bends, twists, arches, folds, and at times appears to break open. These gestures are not only physical; they mirror the mental and emotional gymnastics of navigating multiple cultural frameworks at once. Rajgariah uses the body as a profound bridge, between the personal and the ancestral, the private and the political, the sacred and the commodified. Her vibrant assemblages hold tension and tenderness simultaneously. Acts of cutting, stitching, layering, and binding become meditative rituals, expressions of care as much as thematic critique. In reworking materials that are often flattened or exoticized, Rajgariah reclaims agency and complexity. The result is an exhibition that resists erasure while honoring resilience, inviting viewers into a space where vulnerability, strength, and longing coexist.

Memories
Kristy Peet is a large format analog photographer focusing primarily on staged images conceptually related to the internal personal state. Her exhibition, Memories, considers snippets of time, mental images, small experiences, and emotions tied to specific objects. The work attempts to capture and explicate those strongest bits of memory that linger despite their level of perceived significance.

Turning
Turning is a series of poetic video and animation works about human relationships with the non-human world and what's left to future generations. Sidewalk weeds, bayous, fig trees, and oak galls summon narratives on survival, porous body boundaries, and death as fertile stopover through unexpected moments in built and quasi-natural environments.
