Multiple Belongings Reception

Reception – Feb. 28, 2026, 3 – 5pm; Exhibit – Feb. 23 through March 6, 2026 Hood College Galleries is pleased to present “Multiple Belongings,” an exhibition of ceramic sculptures fulfilling the Master of Fine Arts degree in Ceramics by artist Rosa M. Torres. Through her works, Torres invites the viewer to examine “belonging” and “identity,” and the roles these play in shaping culture and heritage.

In “Multiple Belongings,” clay serves as a metaphor for place and a vessel for memory, symbolizing resilience and reclamation. The exhibition offers an opportunity for dialogue about migration, identity, and cultural connection, making it a meaningful show for the arts and cultural community. By posing open-ended questions, such as “What stories of migration or movement do you see reflected in this artwork?” viewers are invited to reflect on the experiences of migration, diaspora, and transnational communities, and to consider how diverse perspectives and journeys shape both individual and collective identities, inviting visitors to a thoughtful exploration of belonging and cultural memory.
