Opening Reception, Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future

What will remain of care, labor, and memory in 100 years? Echoes of Care: Vessels of the Future envisions a speculative archive where acts of nurturing, witnessing, and transformation persist beyond a century.

This exhibition builds upon Alexa Wheeler’s interdisciplinary practice in printmaking, digital media, and community-engaged art to examine how personal and collective histories are carried forward—through objects, ritual, and the evolving role of women as vessels of survival and connection.

The works presented will be a synthesis of print-based installation, textile works, and experimental digital media, creating a bridge between past and future. In this imagined future, what we make and leave behind—both tangible and intangible—holds the imprint of care.

Through layered prints on fabric, interactive digital pieces, and a participatory community element, this exhibition explores themes of sustenance, resilience, and remembrance as they shape a future landscape.
