SECCA was proud to host artist Emilio Rojas last week for the opening of “tracing a wound through my body,” now in the Potter Gallery.

“If my art serves as an example for other people to heal, resist, or build community and connect with other people, then that already counts as a purpose,” Rojas recently told Qué Pasa.

“tracing a wound through my body” is the first traveling survey of the contemporary practice of Mexican-born multidisciplinary artist Emilio Rojas. The exhibition brings together works spanning the past decade including live performances and interventions, documents of performance sustained in video and ephemera, photography, sculpture, installation, and poetry. Recognizing the act of tracing dualistically, “tracing a through my body both” reexamines the artist's corpus and reckons with the legacies of colonial and border traumas.

This exhibition is curated by Laurel V. McLaughlin and organized by Lafayette College Art Galleries, Easton, PA. Plan your visit, and remember: admission is always free! Learn more: https://secca.org/exhibition-detail.php?LinkId=803849918

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, we consider the words of Diné (Navajo) photographer and community engagement artist Will Wilson: "As artists and agents of Indigenous imagination, we are more than our shared histories of colonization. There are other aspects of our experience that we must express and convey and these expressions must be received with respect. This necessity requires that we tell our stories well, with the vision of a people who understand the generative power of representation. It is in this particular process of self-expression that we practice Native representational sovereignty."

Wilson’s work emanates from the intersection of environmental justice, institutional racism, and Indigenous futurism. His mid-career retrospective exhibition, “Connecting the Dots,” is in SECCA’s Main Gallery through December 11. Admission is free.

Join us this Friday for Walking in Two Worlds: Film & Performance, a celebration and exploration of the Indigenous influences on contemporary art and American pop culture.

The evening will open at 6pm with a screening of “RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked The World,” followed by a Q&A with Indigenous North Carolina musicians Lakota John and Layla Creppel, featuring special guests Charlene Hunt and Tonya Locklear. The evening will close with a live performance by Lakota John.

I'm obviously not catching up on my "social media presence"by any means, but since posting to insta and fb just don't do my images any justice, I load them to my blog one at a time... I doubt these ones will ever get published, although they surely deserve to be. Deicide were in Greensboro and Josh and I couldn't miss them. :)

I added a few “services” to my page.
I was actually teaching my daughter some cool tricks on how to use a flash fill for backlit subjects in daytime… and thought that what I really enjoy the most is teaching and transferring knowledge. Because the coolest thing is to see a result of someone taking your base skill and mastering them and adding their own vision. I don’t know, I wish more people got a hang of this and share their tips.
You can’t take two identical photographs even if you stand in the same spot, with the same equipment. Light changes literally while you’re scrolling through the menus… and I wish more photographers would understand it… it’s seriously cool!!! ☀️🤗❤️💯
