The Space Between Reaction and Regulation
Exhibition
Roots & Memory
Curated by the IPA Editorial Board · Permanent Collection
Across every culture and tradition, art has been the way humans remember who they are.
This collection honors the threads that connect us to our origins, our ancestors, and our most essential selves. The works gathered here were not made to be new — they were made to be true. Beadwork, kente, wax-line, geometry: the languages of continuity.
