UPCOMING

Ronny Quevedo: at the line (2, 3, 4) Working across printmaking, drawing, and installation, Ronny Quevedo addresses diasporic identities, migration, and transnational connections. Quevedo will present a newly commissioned architectural intervention influenced in equal parts by his Indigenous Ecuadorian heritage and his family’s love of sports. Drawing on the abstract forms and diagrammatic renderings from both sites of play and sacred spaces, Quevedo’s installation will consider how the built environment facilitates communal gathering and congregation.
