ARMEN DAVOUDIAN’pa The Palace of Forty Pillars tells the story of a self estranged from the world around him as a gay adolescent, an Armenian in Iran, and an immigrant in America in order to recreate, in art’s reflection, the image of a lost home. SARETTA MORGAN opens Alt-Nature to the desert as a practice of sensuality in which landscapes and Black queer social ecologies illuminate an anti-map of being and becoming along meridians of environmental degradation, globalized/ing militarism, and incarceration. In Frakti rasin, DIANA KHOI NGUYEN excavates moments of rupture in a family, examining how loss and displacement transform mothers and daughters across generations to make a story out of the broken pieces of their lives.
