Iván Carmona's work is included in Build Me Up, Tear Me Down, Why Don’t You Love Me Babe Like There’s No One Around?, the 2025 MoNA Ceramic Invitational at the Museum of Northwest Art.

"The exhibition features 12 remarkable artists from Oregon and Washington whose engagement with clay offers a seductive account of the expressive possibilities of the medium. Inaugurating the Museum’s new series of thematic exhibitions, the MoNA Ceramic Invitational 2025 offers a window into the contemporary Northwest landscape of ceramic sculpture which, modeled by hand and time, becomes an extension of the artists’ body and mind—with its conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations—and the embodiment of the historical moment we live in."

Georgina Reskala's work is featured in Memory Works, an exhibition of work exploring memory now on view at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at University of Oregon.

"Exploring the concept of technologies of memory, this exhibition examines artworks that question the myriad ways memory works and the tools that incite remembrance, reflection, and dialogue. The artists in the exhibition adopt and share their own tools to enhance memory, interrogate it, and contest the ways we remember and experience our memories. Their work employs mixed media such as collage, dried leaves, string, coffee, paper, and photography.

Reflecting on the role of memory, another artist in the exhibition, Georgina Reskala comments, “A moment is alive each time we speak of it and remember it. And each time we speak of it we transform it. Every time I replicate an image, I mimic storytelling and memory making as I take a moment out of time, copy it, reshape it, transform it, or erase it. I am interested in the power of narrative and how it shapes our personal history as well as our collective memory.”

Marie Watt is included in Words Matter & Untold History: Native American Works at Piedmont Arts.

"Featuring works on paper by contemporary Native American artists, this exhibition underscores the richness and diversity of the contemporary Indigenous experience told through the medium of printmaking.

The works are linked by the belief that words have immeasurable power, particularly when reckoning with how written language has been weaponized against Indigenous people throughout the history of the Americas.

The exhibit introduces several contemporary Native American artists who have worked in the medium of printmaking, including Rick Bartow (Wiyot), Demian Diné Yazhi (Diné/Navajo), Marie Watt (Seneca), Larry McNeil (Tlingit), and others. All artists represented in the exhibition have chosen to incorporate text into their images, using the language of the colonizers of their land to tell their own stories. In this way, words play a powerful role in reclaiming a lost history and adding to the incomplete American narrative. In doing so, they also offer messages of hope, humor and resilience."
