Curated by Shawn Kowfi Holmes, the exhibit title is “Ancestral Marks”: The Language of Creation”, which carries layered meanings that connects heritage, identity, and artistic expression suggesting symbolic traces left by ancestors – such as scars, tattoos, carvings or artistic motifs. These marks can represent cultural memory, lineage, and inherited identity.
Language of Creation implies these marks communicate something fundamental about existence, origins, or artistic expression as if creativity itself is a universal language passed down across generations.
John Henderson, one of our studio artists, is featuring 3 artworks.
