Homework: Architectures of Belonging (Opening Ceremony)

Join us on February 12th from 6-9pm for the opening night of Homework: Architectures of Belonging, at Weeksville Heritage Center. Light bites and drinks will be provided, with time to gather and experience the exhibition together.

At 7:30 pm, the evening will feature a performance by LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, followed by closing remarks from Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts at 8 pm.

Homework is the coinciding project of our inaugural Curator-in-Residence Program and marks the beginning of a new season of programming running from February through March. The exhibition brings together artists working across photography, sculpture, textiles, and video to explore home as a site of labor, memory, and transformation. Engaging the domestic sphere as both an intimate and political space, the works reflect on what it means to build, rebuild, and belong.

Grounded in Weeksville’s legacy as both history and home, Homework echoes the founding belief that creating a home is inseparable from claiming space in the world. This opening night serves as an invitation into an ongoing conversation that will continue throughout the season.
