🌊Join GYOPO and Pilele Projects for a special walkthrough of a collaborative two-person exhibition by Sid M. Duenas and Isa Gagarin titled Talåyan Langhet. Translated literally to “sky net” in English, Talåyan Langhet evokes an image of a CHamoru talayeru throwing a circular fishing net in shallow ocean waters. Duenas and Gagarin’s work employs the idea of a fishing net as a conceptual framework for their collaboration, which draws connections between their distinct visual and material approaches; it also functions as a metaphor for the fragmented nature of their respective CHamoru-language fluency. In his multi-media work, Duenas builds poetic textual elements including bilingual phrasing and compound words. Gagarin’s recent work plays with the ochosyllabic structure of Kantan Chamorrita, composing original songs that accompany her paintings as a way to pursue CHamoru-language thought frameworks in her creative process.🩵

In this collaborative exhibition, Duenas and Gagarin use the talåya (fishing net) as a metaphor for connection, culture, and the fragmented nature of language.

Through bilingual poetry, multimedia, and the musical structure of kåntan Chamorrita, the artists weave together a visual and sonic dialogue that explores their CHamoru fluencies. Just like a net, their work is a beautiful balance of what is held together and the spaces left in between.

Sequoia Tangerine Kimmel
Melilt | ak ngiltii a kotek

Please join us for the opening of Sequoia Tangerine Kimmel’s exhibition,  
Melilt | ak ngiltii a kotek (where I come from). Kimmel is a Palauan-Mexican American artist from Santa Cruz, California. Their work embraces their Palauan heritage and culture by carrying on the tradition of Palauan Storyboards. Typically carved into wood, Palauan storyboards illustrate many legends of the Palauan people. Kimmel’s work translates this tradition into the medium of ceramics, preserving those legends in the form of everyday objects. The exhibition will feature a selection of their ceramics as well as an installation of her personal collection of Palauan storyboards.

Gallery Hours: 11–4 p.m.
Friday and Saturday
