TWO ARTISTIC VISIONS IN DIALOGUE
Although their approaches are distinct, DeVille and Collado share a profound interest in the ways materials carry histories that official narratives often fail to preserve. Their practices challenge the boundaries between the sacred and the ordinary, the visible and the invisible, and the personal and the collective. Both artists approach artistic creation as a process of recovering, reinterpreting, and transforming fragments of lived experience.
Together, their exhibitions invite audiences to consider how art can become a vessel for remembrance, a site of resistance, and a space for imagining more expansive futures.

ELIA ALBA
Born in Brooklyn to Dominican immigrant parents, Alba explores history, mythology, memory, and the body as pathways toward new understandings of identity and belonging. Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
A recipient of the Anonymous Was a Woman Award and the Latinx Artist Fellowship, Alba brings a distinctive perspective to a conversation addressing artistic process, cultural memory, diasporic experience, and the transformative power of contemporary art.
The event offers audiences an opportunity to engage with the artists and explore the ideas connecting their respective practices.
