'Here" at Crossroads Gallery

Charles Blanc April 5, 2019

We’re looking forward to the opening of ‘Here’ in Kansas City tonight at the The KCAI Crossroads Gallery: Center for Contemporary Practice.

This exhibition project was developed during a residency for the Center for Contemporary Practice program at the KCAI Crossroads Gallery. It is a combination of intimate memories of diverse places, bringing to the fore the human aspect of place.

The memories were gathered through a specific interview exercise we created to reach these often forgotten moments. Derived from theatre rehearsal methods, psychoanalysis and Police cognitive interview techniques devised to jolt witnesses memories about the details of a past event, the methodology took the participants on a journey through their own lived experiences.

The memories presented at the exhibition are a combination of moments generously shared by KCAI students and also from Calgary Canada and Laramie WY.
