Does It Still Make A Sound?
This exhibition explores what remains after the moment has passed: the echo, the residue, the absence, the unanswered call. Through staged photographs, collage, and mixed media, these artists examine the tension between visibility and invisibility, between impact and recognition.
Is sound only what we hear?
Or is it also memory, witness, proof?
Each body of work offers a different frequency — asking not whether it makes a sound, but are you willing to listen.

We’ve Always Been Here
Following our collaboration in the middle of the term with the Cultural Resource Centers and Las Mujeres, we are wanting to showcase some of the work shared with us in our workshops and throughout that week in an archival exhibition.
The community and art that comes along with a space as small as the 2nd floor of Smith spans cultures, backgrounds, and lives with the fundamental similarity being that they’ve always been here. Highlighting the beauty in protest signs to prints of paintings to the everyday photos and moments we capture with our phones and cameras, the work shared with this exhibit is grounded in the everyday.

Dear Evergreen
Art serves as a function of compassion, lighting a candle to illuminate a piece of ourselves to be seen by others.
Dear Evergreen centers on the honest exploration of self-love, identity, and the bonds that shape us within Portland’s BIPOC and queer communities. Produced by Charles Xiong, Zane Hanayneh, and Amon Watson. The practice of building Dear Evergreen has been a devotion to collaboration and engaging with our environment and community to bring this idea to life.
This exhibition serves as the introduction to the publication. An invitation to the inner world and to let the gift of this moment linger for just a few more seconds.
