Presence

Fullerton College and the Fullerton College Art Gallery were proud to exhibit artworks addressing the presence of people of color in contemporary culture. Presence explored the meanings of the word, including "a person or thing that exists or is present in a place but is not seen”, "a group of people, stationed in a particular place”, as well as "a noteworthy quality of poise and effectiveness". Co-curated by collector Dee Kerrison and gallery director Carol Henke, Presence will share the work of artists of color addressing their presence in our culture, including Patrick Martinez, Gabriella Sanchez, Calida Garcia Rawles, and Diedrick Brackens and more. This publication documents the exhibition, with text written by Fullerton College Museum Studies students.
