Sporadic Moments (memorias sueltas)
January 13-Feb 18. Lydia Street Gallery, 1200 E 11th St. suite#109. Austin, TX 78702
.
In Sporadic Moments (Memorias Sueltas), Ecuadorian American artist Sandra C. Fernández utilizes pages from a cherished 1700’s book of crimes and misdemeanors as the foundation for works that explore her realities of exile, dislocation, relocation, memory, and the opportunity for self-conscious identity construction and reconstruction. By composing new works made of repurposed drawings, etchings, silkscreens, relief prints, and cyanotypes created by the artist over the past 15 years, Fernández offers an alternate way of recalling the past that facilitates healing and renewal through the re-assemblage of memories of familial strength and resilience.

Gualala Arts Burnett Gallery Curated by Mirka Knaster and Paula Haymond, Gualala, CA
All kinds of creatures migrate, sometimes thousands of miles over land, through the sky or deep waters. Yet, barriers keep animals from roaming and individuals from crossing borders or entering harbors, denying refuge, often to those who need it most. Some factors push us out of our homeland and other factors pull us into another territory. Those factors range from civil war, genocide, terrorism, gang violence, ethnic/religious/political persecution, environmental disasters leading to drought, famine, and loss of land to the simple desire for new adventures and opportunities.
