February 20 – May 26
The new bilingual installation of the Family Resource Center explores the myths and stories — both cultural and personal — threaded through the exhibition Myth and Materiality, inviting visitors to tell their own stories and to trace their travels or family history on an interactive map already "loaded" with the artists' geographic starting points and places of practice. A dream decoder helps unlock the symbols and imagery of myth and Surrealism, and a hands-on Mural de materiales allows visitors to experience the touch and textures of the materials used by artists in the exhibition.
