Ana Maria Herrera: Layered Memories January 11–March 14, 2025 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 11, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m., during the Barrio Art Crawl Ana María Herrera’s work explores identity, displacement, and cultural coexistence through an intricate blend of found objects and diverse materials, such as wood, glass, metal, and fabric. Her compositions reflect the ephemeral nature of existence, particularly in the border region, where the complexities of migration and cultural negotiation are ever-present. By incorporating photographs, textiles, and three-dimensional elements, Herrera examines the emotional and physical boundaries that shape personal and collective identities, addressing themes of vulnerability, resistance, and resilience within the contemporary sociopolitical landscape. Herrera engages with layered complexities of human existence, crafting assemblages that challenge traditional notions of representation and foster dialogue about the realities of border life. Using windows and frames as both physical and symbolic elements, Herrera invites viewers to contemplate the tension between visibility and obscurity. These pieces serve as portals into narratives of migration and belonging while subtly addressing issues of surveillance and power dynamics. This exhibition encourages a critical examination of the intersection of culture, history, and memory in the shaping of individual and collective identities in an increasingly interconnected world. Ana María Herrera—Artist Statement In my assemblage art, I draw from the aged and textured materials of the past—pieces like rusted metal chains, weathered wood from light poles, bicycle wheels, pressure gauges, and electrical meters. These objects, marked by time and mystery, serve as silent witnesses to countless stories, histories, and transformations, much like the wisdom of an elder etched by years of experience. I am drawn to their deep tones and weathered surfaces, each item resonating with lives lived and “time stories” I may never fully understand. This uncertainty around their origins only enhances my appreciation, allowing me to create without the constraints of their original purpose and instead invite viewers to interpret their own narratives within these materials. In each assemblage, I work to honor the age, history, and hidden memories within these objects. Through layering and reimagining, I hope to give them new life, encouraging viewers to look closely, question, and connect with the unseen past that each object holds. Ultimately, my art celebrates the beauty in things long overlooked, encouraging a reverence for the history that surrounds us and inviting curiosity about what once was.

Songs of the Wayfarer is a transcreative work based upon select poems of India’s Nobel Laureate – Rabindranath Tagore. Translations from Bengali to English were created by Jayanta Acharya, original music composed by Mtafiti Imara, and dances choreographed by Anusree Bonnerjee and Cherie Hill. Each step in this collaborative process involved reflections upon the central theme: one who partakes upon a spiritual journey. It is both an ancient and modern theme found in many disciplines including literature, religion, and mythology. The continued global manifestation of the Wayfarer’s story speaks to its importance across time and diverse cultures. These Songs ask questions of what defines us as individuals and as connected humans - an important precursor to understanding our interdependency and social justice. CSUSM Arts & Lectures proudly present this performative journey as a tribute to Indrani & Jayanta Acharya; two lives devoted to sharing Tagore’s monumental works – embodying the best of what makes us human.
