Fellowship 26

This year’s Fellowship 26 artists invite us into worlds shaped by memory, ritual, and attentive observation. Helen Jones and Robert Contreras II develop approaches to explore the power of intergenerational connection, while Jacquelyn Johnson and Javier Griffey navigate familial memory through dynamic exchanges of text and image. Across the exhibition, artists reconsider how culture and perception shift meanings. Jamie Ho and Conner Gordon each challenge the ways imaging practices have historically visualized ideologies. Working across GIFs, photography, and installation, Ho interrogates Eurocentric perceptions of Asian American women and femmes, while Gordon disrupts familiar ideas of the American landscape. Together, these six artists’ distinct visual languages sustain personal processes of discovery while opening up new ways of seeing.

Fellowship 26 is generously supported by Arts, Equity, & Education Fund™.
