In Carriers for Posterity, artists are autoethnographers who bring forward histories of family and self through images and objects that hold these truths. Working as historians, artists use the authority of lived experience to trace lineage, intersect time, connect to place, and create new traditions for themselves, their families, and future generations. Tributaries of personal stories, complex identities, dreams, and memories, come together in this exhibition to form a greater connected narrative and eventually a shared history. It asks, how will we become to know us? It speaks for lost loved ones; it speaks to our progeny, who will carry what they can. It is written by women who carry the joys, traumas, and traditions that compose a familial continuum of knowledge. Carriers for Posterity features new and recent projects by Jessica Carolina González (Houston, TX), Alexa Horochowski (Minneapolis, MN), Merritt Johnson (Sitka, AK), Jovan C. Speller (Park Rapids, MN), Rotem Tamir (Minneapolis, MN) and Maggie Thompson (St. Paul, MN). For more info: https://www.macalester.edu/gallery/
