[…] the viewer is taken on their own journey, mirroring the one Linares represents in Between Islands and Peninsulas, an immigrant’s story that transports you over time, space, and destinations.
Linares’ varied use of materials allows her to create works that are simultaneously delicate yet durable. She seeks to capture the contradictions of the human condition through materiality. In the artist books Todo Sigue Igual, Agua Salada, and Alternative Realities, she uses seemingly disparate mediums to convey the coexistence of the contradictory emotions and ideas. The artist books, constructed geographies of text and images, evoke the feelings of nostalgia, displacement, and disorientation Linares experienced during her own diaspora.

In this episode – exploring identity. The way artists look inward to create outward facing pieces and how artists also study the identity of those around them.

Black Art Rising: Adler Guerrier x LIFEWTR

March 4, 2021March 4, 2021 dig

As a past exhibiting artist whose work is also part of PAMM’s collection, it was serendipitous to receive this gift during our Art + Soul celebration of the PAMM Fund for Black Art that took place on February 6, 2021. We were able to apply the donation to the Fund that supports? PAMM’s effort to?grow its collection with works by Black artists. Tremendous acts as these ensure that PAMM will continue to be able to represent the diversity of the community we serve while elevating the appreciation of African diaspora art and culture. It was announced during the program that Knight Foundation would match any gift made during the program toward the Fund, up to $100,000 doubling the impact of LIFEWTR and Adler’s already extraordinary donation.
Thanks to this gift and the continued donations of so many, our institution will be able to ensure that works by African American and African diaspora artists will always be represented in PAMM’s permanent collection for generations to come.
