Resident Spotlight: Ana Mosquera (Studio Resident 2025-2026) explores devotion, systems, and social structures through her work in “Sites of the Self.”

Through works including “Vigil” (2026) and “Legitimacy Generator” (2025), Mosquera uses interactive installation, drawing, and digital storytelling to examine what happens when the systems meant to recognize us fail. Her practice considers devotion not as belief, but as a process of returning, persisting, and negotiating power in everyday life.

“Sites of the Self” is presented in collaboration with Bakehouse Art Complex and curated by Bakehouse Senior Curatorial Fellow René Morales. See the exhibition at Oolite Arts through Oct. 4, 2026.

Resident Spotlight: Nadia Wolff (Studio Resident 2026) explores diaspora, memory, and embodied knowledge through their work in “Sites of the Self.”

“Sites of the Self” is presented in collaboration with Bakehouse Art Complex and curated by Bakehouse Senior Curatorial Fellow René Morales. See the exhibition at Oolite Arts through Oct. 4, 2026.
