Bondarenko\u2019s installation forms a causeway for visitors to encounter Ukrainian poetry and the art form of motanka dolls in a newly imagined configuration. Motanka are guardian symbols assembled from the clothes of deceased ancestors. Bondarenko\u2019s ceramics illustrate motanka in situations responding to the war; each graphic is accompanied by a poem or a song. These ceramics act as lifeboats, which ferry the Ukrainian resistance through the flood waters of destruction. Lisova\u2019s series of tapestries explore the power of cultural memory to grow in times of war. Traditional embroidery explodes on the surface of photo collage, where images of the past and present collide on a single surface. Like a lifeline, red thread connects these projects, weaving through clay and fabric, bringing tradition to bear on new significances and the cultural will to survive. This exhibition is part of the LSA theme semester on \u201cArts and Resistance.\u201d\r\n\r\nIrina Bondarenko is an emerging ceramic artist, a native of Ukraine, and a biostatistician at the University of Michigan.

These units of memory, or engrams, are poetic portals through which we time travel, gaining hindsight and foresight, more meaning and greater wisdom, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\r\n\r\nIn an era of iPhones, Macbooks, Instagram, and Facebook, everything that\u2019s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original \u2026 every day of every year, every meal of every trip, every postcard destination. With constant 24\/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \r\n\r\nIn Digital Engrams, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound, video, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \r\n\r\nRuiz\u2019s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\r\n\r\n\u2013Amanda Krugliak, IH Arts Curator\r\n\r\nAbout the artist:\r\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media, including sculpture, video, painting, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.\u2019s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico, Ruiz\u2019s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\r\n\r\nOne of L.A.\u2019s rising young talents, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022, part of the museum's Outburst project.\r\n\r\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities.
