From Kinfolk House:
“What does it take to build something new? Desire, resilience, faith, and a foundation. This project explores the idea of building on assets such as home and land as the basis for creating something larger than oneself. As a newly-formed Black- and Latino-led organization nested in a historically Black and Latino neighborhood, Kinfolk House recognizes that it is truly a blessing not only to keep a family home, but also to transform it into something larger than a single person or family. Because of long-standing inequities rooted in systemic racism, too often, Black and brown families are unable to keep significant assets like property, in order to build generational wealth. As we bring our first year to a close, Kinfolk House presents Formation, a project featuring sculptural works that speak to important themes in the underpinnings of our newly formed organization. Through installation, textiles, and ceramics, artists Emily Mayo, Jenelle Esparza, and Earline Green investigate home, land, labor, rebirth, and legacy. When asked about the latest project, Director of Kinfolk House Jessica Fuentes said, “It is hard to believe that we are wrapping up our inaugural year of projects. We are thrilled to bring together this trio of strong women artists and to put their work in dialogue with each other.” Formation will run from September 10 to November 12, 2022. Alongside the show, Kinfolk House will once again open its doors to the public and host community events that connect to the project’s themes.
