Spaces That Hold Us
Artwork by Bhen Alan
Joan T. Boghossian Gallery, 3rd Floor
Spaces That Hold Us explores how Filipino-Americans in Providence, Rhode Island, and surrounding areas shape their cultural identity within unexpected, everyday spaces. From Asian grocery store aisles, ice cream shops, university parks, apartment kitchens, dining tables to intimate community gatherings — Filipino-Americans claim these locations as cultural hubs, transforming them into places where heritage, community, and identity converge. These spaces may not be formally designated for cultural expression, but they have evolved into powerful sites of belonging and self-definition. Here, the mundane becomes meaningful. These spaces serve not only as reminders of the Philippines, but also as symbols of adaptation and pride, embodying the dynamic nature of Filipino-American culture.

Wheel of Fortune

Updike Room, 3rd Floor & Ground Floor Lobby
Wheel of Fortune is a site-specific art installation by Eli Kauffman. Colorful, life-sized paintings explore the breadth and intensity of young adulthood, through self-betterment and collective perseverance. Kauffman makes paintings specific to the scenery and artifacts in their community, revisiting moments that feel profound in daily life. The work is like a soap opera; it is all about slowing fast moments down so that we can sit in them.
