Positioned in dialogue with surrounding works, the portrait reflects shared commitments between the two artists to connection across physical, emotional, social, and political spaces. Organized in three sections, the exhibition moves between interdependence with the non-human world, immigrant experiences of space and belonging, and artists\u2019 self-representation. Together, the works reframe portraiture as a relational practice rather than a fixed image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">This exhibition was collaboratively curated by the Escalette Collection, the Guggenheim Gallery, and the Escalette Student Art Ambassadors Forest Delaney, Jo Martinez, Erin Ohline, Ysabella Rodriguez, Emily Rubio, and Chase Takamori. <\/span>Featured artists include Hakeem Adewumi, Laura Aguilar, Katie Dorame, Zackary Drucker and Rhys Ernst, Ivan Forde, Phung Huynh, Jorge Isordia, Bovey Lee, Poli Marichal, Ranu Mukherjee, Lorena Ochoa, Maia Cruz Palileo, Cara Romero, Samantha Roth, Shizu Saldamando, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, and Jenny Yurshansky.<\/p>\n<p>Support for this exhibition is generously provided by the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Art Collection Endowment; the Guggenheim Gallery; Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Plan Your Visit<\/h3>\n<p>The Guggenheim Gallery is located just outside Moulton Hall (315 E.
