Join us in this summer offering of clay, fire, and water—an ephemeral sanctuary shaped by touch, story, and soil. Inspired by Nüwa, the Chinese goddess who molded humanity from clay and mended the sky with molten stone, this exhibition invites you into a space of mythic repair and collective renewal.

Curator Ann Shi uniting 24 artists in a multi-sensory garden of regeneration, featuring ceramics, fiber, sculpture, site-specific installation and video art. For the first time, the curatorial method was introduced through the spatial logics of “Feng Shui” and “Wuxing” (Five Element theory). Each piece is placed with intentionality, reflecting a cosmology where material, direction, and ritual form an ecosystem of meaning. Installed in the former potato factory turned Charles Arnoldi’s legendary art studio, the space itself becomes a container for ancestral memory, mythic energy, and ecofeminist renewal.

Please RSVP if you’re interested in joining the pre-opening tea ceremony and communal painting ritual at 11am, where we begin by aligning our intentions—body, mind, and space—in the spirit of Nüwa’s ancient gesture of creation and healing.
