LaRissa Rogers in conversation with exhibition curators Audrey Lopez and Eunice Uhm
This solo exhibition by artist LaRissa Rogers explores the critical role home plays in building alternative epistemologies—sensory, spatial, and affective. Featuring a new body of work, Rogers considers the liminal architectural space as a site of rupture that animates the ever-shifting contours of history and relationality.
