Reception & Artist Talk | YA LA’FORD: HENGE — unearthing ancestral memory
The Hillsborough Community College Art Galleries is proud to present YA LA’FORD: HENGE – unearthing ancestral memory, a solo exhibition with new works by Ya La’ford. This exhibition will be on display August 28 – November 2, 2023 at Gallery114@HCC Ybor City Campus.
Ya La’ford (b. 1979, Bronx, NY) is an internationally recognized multimedia artist whose bold, geometric work explores themes of transformation and transcendence. Her solo exhibition HENGE – unearthing ancestral memory in Gallery114@HCC invites viewers to reconsider symbols from ancient civilizations as keys for navigating the shapes and patterns of modern life. Concepts such as connection, excavation, reverence and memory are woven together for an immersive and multi-sensory installation. Inspired by forms such as neolithic henges, kivas and other ancient architectural monuments, these new works by La’ford investigate ancestral messages and reimagines them for contemporary audiences.
