Ramos Foundation Award Winners’ Exhibit
Here Lies is a powerful and deeply reflective exhibit that explores themes of cultural retrieval, historical legacy, and institutional power. The exhibit features physical installations and live performances by artists Angel Cartagenes and Kahalla Bandy-Pasibe, who received the Ramos Foundation Award in 2022. The exhibit serves to honor and activate the spirits native to the land, including the Ohlone Ancestors whose remains were stolen and imprisoned in the building by agents of the University. The exhibit also pays tribute to living Queer and Trans relations who hold roles as creators, healers, disruptors, abolitionists, archivists, and culture-keepers, including those who have been disconnected, incapacitated, and imprisoned via state-sanctioned violence. Finally, the exhibit celebrates trans-diasporic Ancestors who walked before us in the traditions of waymaking, placemaking, and wake-work.
