Oscar Lopez has a reputation for building community and using his art to tie contemporary experiences to Indigenous history.
In her exhibition at San Francisco’s Institute of Contemporary Art museum, artist Suchitra Mattai explores her immigration story and that of her ancestors, as well as the malleability of memory.
The works are entirely fabric, from two-dimensional pieces that resemble paintings to a nearly life-sized house, an ode to where Mattai was born.
