A Familiar Taste

"*...A Familiar Taste  [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/one.aspx?pageId=20284225 ]
*"Curated by Clarissa Grace Gines
Exhibition Dates:* October 2024 - January 2025*

Are you hungry for new art? Feast your eyes on our current exhibition!"…A Familiar Taste "highlights narratives from artists of color through the lens of food and cultural foodways. This exhibit presents a visual and literary feast evoking a diverse range of connections, emotions, and memories. It is an invitation to consider one’s own relationship to food and explore how different backgrounds and experiences inform our interaction with culinary traditions.

From nostalgic recollections of intimate kitchen convenings and childhood meals, to traveling to a motherland and savoring familiar flavors, and using food as symbolism to further explore socio-political complexities of cultural identity, "…A Familiar Taste" uses the common thread of food as a vessel for storytelling, cultural preservation and reconnection, and community building.

Raindrops by Josh Sands

"*Deluge and Refuge*"
Artist:* Josh Sands [ https://joshsands.com/ ]
*Exhibition Dates:* October 26 - January 5, 2025*

The City of Auburn is excited to be showcasing an installation by artist Josh Sands in the Vault Gallery!

*Artist Statement:*

"This piece continues my series of temporary public installations that showcases glass in the form of raindrops. Here the ordinary experience of a downpour invites viewers in to the space to contemplate, observe, and feel the sensations and emotions of such an event, in a displaced setting.

The narrative of this installation alludes to the importance of arts education and the need to shelter and support art during challenging times. Through the stewardship of local cultural centers like the Postmark and the City of Auburn’s programming, arts education and exhibition can continue to be provided and protected." -Josh Sands
