ENTRE NOS

우리는 서로 • Sa’tin – sa’tin lang • Amongst Ourselves

Aesthetics of Undocumentedness

On view at Visible Records Jun 9 - Aug 19, 2023

Entre Nos brings together artworks by artists in the undoc+ spectrum who have embodied undocumentedness (either currently or formerly). Through the works present in this exhibition, forgotten origins and cultural amnesia is questioned, transnational grief is honored, and unimaginable despair and sorrow are acknowledged alongside incommensurable pain. Yet transcending assimilation, frustration, loneliness, and systematized oppression, an abundance of optimism and undocujoy can be found axis by the ancestral blessings bestowed upon us to accompany each and every one of our immigrant journeys.

The collective group of individuals whose multiplicity of artworks woven together serve to outline the aesthetics of undocumentedness presented in this exhibition authentically express through art each of their undoc+ narratives, which expand beyond the contemporary geographical holdings of the United States to create community amongst individuals whose ancestral lineages predate the modern nations of Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, México, Philippines, South Korea, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

ENTRE NOS features artists Christian Bañez, Yehimi Cambrón, Johnny Castillo, Daniela Gabay, Häsler Gómez, Sonia Guiñansaca, Gemma Jimenez Gonzalez, Hyo-Jung Jeon, Adriana Martinez, Davy Jones Nguyen, Elizabeth Pineda, Karla Rosas, and Rommy Torrico.

“Every migrant has a story, a life, a family, a face, a voice. Like the dandelion, our stories are the seeds that carry life and offer new beginnings wherever they take root.”

- Reyna Grande and Sonia Guiñansaca

“It is also painful to focus on the art, but impossible to process the world as anything but art.”
