Coffee Bindings by @michiums

An antique and jewelry repair shop becomes a home to a coffee reading that transports you between time and space, casting a spell between this world and the next through each cup you drink. Utilizing physical, digital, handmade linocut, and family archival, Coffee Bindings explores our connections to memory, space, and the diaspora connection when navigating family history and the aftermath of loss.

Island Child by Rachel Jungeun Oh @racheljungeunoh 

Island Child is an immersive audiovisual installation exploring memory, dreams, and cultural identity through experimental animation, projection mapping, and spatial sound. By highlighting traditional Korean lullabies and abstract visual narratives, the work demonstrates that sound can function as a powerful form of visual art, creating emotional resonance and bridging individual and collective experiences. Ultimately, it invites viewers to reflect on the profound ways sound shapes our understanding of identity, memory, and belonging.

Highlighting each of the 12 projects: 

The Dinner Table by Eric Juhola @rickyj_hola 

The Dinner Table is a dual-projection installation that examines the relationship between familial rituals, memory, and the construction of self. The piece centers around a dinner table, exploring how the familial rituals it participated in may have shaped our sense of self, and how the absence of such rituals affects that self-construction over time. To inform our notion of self, the project treats ritual as performance - as a societal script in which we are encouraged to participate. Ultimately, the installation asks whether our sense of self dissipates with the fading rituals and looks at what is left behind.
