Studios on the Park presents Memoria Disfrazada ceramics exhibition
Solo exhibition by Michelle Solorzano runs throughout February
– Studios on the Park will present a solo ceramics exhibition titled Memoria Disfrazada by ceramicist Michelle Solorzano during the month of February in the Atrium Gallery at Studios on the Park.
The exhibition examines how identity and history are shaped through experiences of colonization and immigration. Solorzano draws inspiration from Dominican Carnaval, a cultural space where celebration and critique coexist. Through her work, she reimagines the mask as both protection and revelation, raising questions about who controls historical narratives and whose stories are remembered or obscured. In response to the current political climate, the body of work reflects on what is hidden, what is performed, and what endures.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held Feb. 7 from 6–9 p.m. The reception is open to the public.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Studios on the Park will host a free presentation featuring Solorzano and Alecia Teague, owner of The Pottery. The two ceramic artists will discuss how their work and interest in pottery extend beyond the studio. The presentation will take place Jan. 31 from 5–6 p.m. at Studios on the Park. Those interested in attending may RSVP by emailing contact@studiosonthepark.org
or calling (805) 238-9800.
