Tricia Rainwater: The Tellings We Keep
Wednesday October 1- Saturday November 29 2025
Invitation Residency Exhibition
The Tellings We Keep is a living archive—an offering of memory and survival. It traces what endures, what has been mourned, what hasn’t, and shines a light on what might fall through the cracks. It unravels the complexities of separation—of being pulled from family and community by wounds older than one’s own birth. This body of work moves as prayer and song. It carries the stories others might dismiss, inviting you to linger in their ache, to witness what resists forgetting.
Through self-portrait photography, sculpture, and installation, Rainwater examines the entanglements of body and memory—what it means to live in a body once denied its own autonomy. Her images become vessels, carving out space for self and for home. Drawing on Choctaw ancestral designs, she dreams into being a geography remembered through childhood tellings and the echoes of land half-known, half-missed.
INTERIOR LIFE
Curated by PJ Policarpio
with special projects by Marcel Pardo Ariza
Spring 2026
“Though we do not wholly believe it yet, the interior life is a real life, and the intangible dreams of people have a tangible effect on the world.”
― James Baldwin, Nobody Knows My Name
In the long shadow of centuries of activism and systemic violence, we find ourselves pushed to turn inwards, towards ourselves and the interior lives of others. This inward step opens up a space of deep connection across boundaries of difference to forge communities of belonging. The artists in Interior Life construct sacred architectures of queer BIPOC interiority through the photographic medium. Their intimate focus on themselves, their subjects, and the space between them resists the inherently violent potential of the camera, and empowers them with agency over their own representation. Ultimately, Interior Life explores a sense of tender reverence and community-rooted gestures of care through a philosophical framework of subjectivity.
