PHILADELPHIA\, PA 19106 \nTwelve Gates Arts invited curator Suzanne Persard for a group show of women and nonbinary artists. What survives in the archive of indenture? Remnants of Another investigates the traces of memory among artists of Indo-Caribbean and indentured Indian descent from Suriname\, Trinidad\, and Guyana. Juxtaposing historical and family archives alongside photography and film\, these multidisciplinary artists rework temporalities of diaspora and self to create a new visual archive of genealogy. Remnants of Another traverses the contours of memory among indentured descendants\, refracting the violence of the colonial archive through queer and feminist re-imaginings of ancestral selves\, kinship and diaspora. \n\nREKINDLED PROMISE | Group ExhibitionCHELSEA KAIAH – MELISSA LEANDRO – CHAU NGUYENBRIAN SINGER – TANEKEYA WORDPENTIMENTI GALLERY\, 145 NORTH SECOND ST. Philadelphia\, PA 19106 \nPentimenti Gallery invited five artists\, four of them women\, who draw inspiration from the challenges we face while living in America today. The selected artworks were created through the lenses of artists of different backgrounds and different concerns\, such as climate change\, immigration\, material culture\, and America’s complex past. These cultural critiques aim to turn a mirror on what modern America is versus what it purports itself to be. \n\n \n1:00 pm – 3:00 pm “Rising Sun” \nRISING SUN: ARTISTS in an UNCERTAIN AMERICA \n20 artists respond to the critical question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? A collaborative exhibition by the African American Museum in Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Installations by 20 celebrated artists explore themes of equality\, free speech\, and other tenets of democracy. In a time when perspectives in the U.S. are radically disparate\, we invite you to explore how art inspires us to reflect on\, challenge\, and expand our own lived experiences. Artists include: Shiva Ahmadi\, John Akomfrah CBE\, La Vaughn Belle\, Tiffany Chung\, Lenka Clayton\, Petah Coyne\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Demetrius Oliver\, Eamon Ore-Giron\, Alison Saar\, Dread Scott\, Rose B. Simpson\, Sheida Soleimani\, Renée Stout\, Mark Thomas Gibson\, Dyani White Hawk\, Hank Willis Thomas\, Deborah Willis\, Wilmer Wilson IV\, and Saya Woolfalk. \nBe part of this transformative exhibition at two historic museums within walking distance of each other: \nAfrican American Museum in Philadelphia701 Arch Street Philadelphia\, PA 19106 \nPennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts118-128 North Broad Street | Philadelphia\, PA 19102_______________________ \n\nArtTable members $25\nMember guests $35\nPublic $40 \nPricing includes entry to both museums\, complimentary lunch\, and both galleries.

With this expertise\, she works towards the founding vision for 12G: a space as expansive and malleable as the artists it accommodates. \n\n\n\n\nAisha’s recently concluded Curatorial Residency in Penn’s Asian American Studies Program (ASAM) in spring 2023 (as part of the ASAM’s Sachs 2022 Grant)  titled “The Third Space: Unfurling Diasporic Arts of South Asia”\, consisted of a series of programs seeking to highlight Diasporic Arts of South Asia as a distinct\, expansive\, and emergent tradition within American contemporary art. This residency was not just a critical opportunity for ASAM to premier South Asian American arts in an examination of diaspora\, ethnic identity\, and immigration history\, but also a culmination of her own work highlighting these aspects in artistic productions of diasporic artists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristine Pfister was born in Switzerland. Upon moving to the United States\, she attended Christie’s Education at Christie’s New York\, NY.
