Curatorial Statement:

​

EMERGENCE: A Visual Navigation through Mending, Memory and Experience highlights eleven California State University Monterey Bay student artists in a first-time VPA virtual exhibition. Themes such as identity, sexuality, relationships, mental health and culture are presented in these artworks as the featured artists navigate their multifaceted individual and/or collective memories and experiences through a continual, ever-evolving process of mending. From their individual perspectives, these artists have investigated the often quiet and unseen methods of coping with unsettling and sometimes painful past events or feelings—emotional labor that is relevant now more than ever. Whether boldly tackling these topics head on or analyzing them with a more cerebral and introspective lens, each artist nonetheless speaks to the human condition.
