'Material Prophecies: Craft as Divination,' 

on view February 20 – August 1, 2026 at the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, Ca. This group exhibition brings together Jackie Amézquita, April Bey, Calethia DeConto, Emmanuel Louisnord Desir, Joel Gaitan, vanessa german, Sky Hopinka, and Lani Trock, who explore how artists transform material into ritual, cosmology, and future-making. Through fiber, wood, bronze, cyanotype, terracotta, film, installation, and earth, the artists consider craft as a form of divination, where making becomes a language for healing, invocation, and ancestral knowledge.
