Reception: Friday, June 12, from 6 to 8 p.m.

Echoes of Absence presents the works of Miguel A. Aragón and Eddy A. López, artists who explore collective memory and trauma through print media. Aragón, born in Ciudad Juarez, uses erasure as language to examine the US-Mexico border with a lens of violence, memory, and perception alongside processes that are reductive. López, a survivor of the Nicaraguan civil war, uses censorship and obfuscation to interrogate the use of war imagery in the media, exploring the tension between lived experience and representation, remembering and forgetting. Together, Aragón and López critique visual representations of conflict and war -– and the power systems that perpetuate this violence — by centering the victims within loud echoes of absence.
