Join us Saturday, March 14th from 2pm – 4pm for the opening of the moon, the womb, and they remember, a group exhibition curated by Ann Shi and featuring work by Flora Kao, Sheng Lor, Victoria May, Sandeep Mukherjee, Kyong Boon Oh, Snezana Petrovic, and Stella Zhang.


the moon, the womb, and they remember considers memory as a distributed condition rather than a fixed record, something that circulates through matter, bodies, labor, and sites across time. The exhibition approaches the womb not as a biological or gendered form but as a spatial logic: a container that holds matter in transition, allowing transformation without resolution. The moon is a regulator of cyclical time, governing tides, illumination, recurrence, and withdrawal. It marks rhythms of appearance and disappearance, the return of time and space, the persistence of life forms, and the conservation of energy.


the moon, the womb, and they remember will be on view in the gallery March 14th through April 26th, 2026 with free public visiting hours Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10am to 5pm.


Support for the exhibitions program is provided by the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles, the Perenchio Foundation, the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, and the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks.


Accessibility
Please note that the moon, the womb, and they remember is in areas of the gallery that are currently only accessible via stairs. A virtual walkthrough of the full exhibition will be available on a tablet at the front of the gallery.
