Related EventPLAySPACE Exhibition: Long LostOn view during Homecoming and the Making Futures Celebration. The opening show of the season, Long Lost, reconciles the work of past and present students, transforming the gallery into a homecoming venue. The reunion inspires questions of memory, distortion, home, inaccessibility, and distance. As a composed exhibit, works from current students (such as Angela Zamora, Haley Mae, and Eve) and alumni (including Narges Poursadeqi, Djinnaya Stroud, and Ashley Martin-Prideaux) complicate interpretations about childhood, family, safety, and collective experience. This refusal of neat returns and easy answers reflects the precariousness of pasts, homes, and histories.
