In this group exhibition of 13 artists curated by Elizabeth S. Hawley, U.S. boundaries are reconceptualized as border waters that emphasize the shorelines of the coterminous U.S. and its island regions; the historical and contemporary significance of waterways ranging from inland rivers to international oceanic passages and their inextricable linkage with colonialist, imperialist U.S. policies; and the ecological inseparability of waterways that ensures changes in one area’s border waters have global effects.

Memorializing the dead is a sacred act, upon which entire belief systems are structured. Molly Jae Vaughan’s work, begun before most of the online data bases and websites dedicated to Transgender Day of Remembrance were established, raises visibility of the epidemic of violence the trans and gender non-conforming community faces by emphasizing each individual from her chronologically selected list of 42, with complex actions and labor heavy processes. For Vaughan, each individual’s life is worth equal time, whether they were a leader, a star, or simply someone trying to survive on the streets.
