Invisible Threads:
Matrilineages of Blood, Time, and Place

Please submit your ideas for consideration into our February and March Gallery Show:

Show Statement:
In Invisible Threads: Matrilineages of Blood, Time, and Place, we trace the subtle but powerful connections that stretch across generations. Through this process of discovery, we uncover the silent legacies carried within our bodies, waiting to be heard. Art becomes a way to honor these matrilineal pathways, giving form to the unseen bonds that connect us to those who came before.

This exhibition challenges us to rethink the way we understand inheritance—not just as the passing down of genetic traits, but as the transmission of memory, wisdom, and strength. Through the act of artistic exploration, we can recover what was lost, reframe what was forgotten, and offer new narratives that give voice to the women who shaped the fabric of our being. In doing so, we not only uncover family mysteries but also reclaim the power of our matrilineal histories and our selfhood, illuminating the transcendental threads that link us all.
