Exhibition "indelible traces" highlights two decades of ethnographic research and artistic cartography
Alumna and artist Tiffany Chung has returned with a survey exhibition at the Art, Design & Architecture Museum. The work combines detailed mapping and archives to shift official historical accounts and reclaim stories that remain erased. Museum director Gabriel Ritter noted that her maps "translate vast data sets... speak from the heart in deeply moving and personal ways."
Chung, who developed her conceptual frameworks within the Department of Art, uses embroidered and hand-drawn maps to look at the human experience against a planet’s longer timeline. By tracing archaeobotanical remains of spices and tools, the artist reframes displacement as an ancient and ongoing human condition. The immersive installation "Spheres of Time" is on view through April 26 at the AD&A Museum. Read the full story on The Current.
