New Museum Los Gatos - NUMU presents "Made of Memory," on view beginning October 25, 2024 through March 16, 2025.

This is an exhibition of five women artists who explore concepts of memory as it pertains to generational and cultural experience, immigration, and migration.

Join NUMU for a free, public reception on Friday, October 25, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to celebrate the exhibition with refreshments.

Through various media, the artists, Cynthia Brannvall, Dana Harris Seeger, Trinh Mai, Priyanka Rana, and Shirin Towfiq, explore their experience of inherited memories and unveil personal stories of family and heritage while inviting us all to consider the deeper themes that connect us with the past, and with each other. Engaging with culturally significant materials and symbolism, these works examine the vicarious nature of memory, and present implicit meanings carried in ancestral artifacts that are passed from one generation to the next. Each artist conveys the idea that we are all shaped not only by our personal experiences, but by those of past generations.
