From Kinfolk House:
“Kinfolk House is excited to announce the details of its spring project, The Materiality of Culture, featuring works by Xxavier Carter, Minji Kang-Watrous, and Cruz Ortiz. The exhibition will open with a reception on March 1, 2025, from 2pm to 5pm, and will be on view through May 3, 2025. This project continues Kinfolk House’s tradition of showcasing local and regional artists whose work engages with vital cultural narratives.
For The Materiality of Culture, Kinfolk House brings together artists whose creative practices emphasize the power of materials to reflect, shape, and challenge societal structures. Through distinct approaches, each artist explores how materials embody cultural memory, resilience, and transformation. Fort Worth-based Xxavier Carter’s use of various mediums examines identity and communal ecologies. Dallas-based Minji Kang-Watrous incorporates Hanji, a traditional Korean handmade paper, blending past and present. San Antonio-based Cruz Ortiz contributes print works rooted in his exploration of storytelling through folk narratives and activism.
Kinfolk House is proud to continue its commitment to fostering conversations about identity, heritage, and community healing through dynamic exhibitions and public programs. The Materiality of Culture offers a space to reflect on how materials — through history and innovation — connect people and preserve stories across generations.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of public programs designed to deepen community engagement with the themes and artists of the project. A full list of programming will be available soon.”
