Houston-based artists Sherry Tseng Hill and Chet Urban will present "And Some I Assume, Are Good People," the intersection of migration at the southern U.S. border from their relative positions through memory as collective binder rather than in individual illusion.

Tseng Hill and Urban use memory as a device from their own experience, through the lens of their position to connect to the immigrant crisis on the U.S. border. Memory in their use becomes a tool to connect, to bridge, to empathically see others relate to the self.

Tseng Hill examines historical movements of people, looking closely at public rhetoric surrounding the trauma migrants recount from their crossing of the U.S. Southern border. She does this through the lens of her own immigrant journey which provides insights, common threads and juxtaposition.

Urban reflects on memory and everyday objects in connection to law enforcement practices and the ways in which violence coincides with determinations of "legality" or "illegality." He inquires what is embedded in a memory. When one object, image, or view conjures up and connects to a memory, a distant experience what does that bridge? What gap vanishes between yourself and the "other?"

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through July 29.
