Folds - Film Screening and Conversation

Sunday February 16, 2025

4:00-7:00pm

Winslow House Project (Vallejo)

RSVP here

Suggested donation $10-20*

*No one turned away for lack of funds

Join us for an evening of films and conversation at our fabulous neighbors, Winslow House Project this Sunday, February 16 from 4-7pm. This is a very limited-capacity event, so please RSVP if you plan to attend.

We will be presenting short films by five artists from our current exhibition Folds :

The event will include a conversation with artists Irma Yuliana Barbosa, Celeste Barbosa, Nasim Moghadam, and Whitney Vangrin, alongside curators Emmy Scharlatt and Lisa Rybovich Crallé. For this special screening event, Vallejo-based artist Whitney Vangrin is preparing a tasting menu with tea pairings which includes offerings structurally inspired by the works of Hannah Wilke and Ana Mendieta. The menu draws from themes of transformation, embodiment, and impermanence, with a focus on fermentation as a living, evolving process. The menu will highlight select ferments from The Cultured Pickle, incorporating depth, acidity, and textural contrasts. Vegetarian with GF and non dairy options. 

Personal Space will be open an hour later than usual (11:00-4:00pm) and we highly recommend stopping by the gallery to spend time with the exhibition before heading to Winslow House for the screening. (Winslow House is about a 5 minute drive north of Personal Space -- address will be sent with RSVP confirmation).

Your suggested donation of $10-20* also includes:

  • Homemade vegetarian chilli

  • Wine, beer, sparkling water, and tea

*No one turned away for lack of funds

Tea and snack pairings by Vallejo-based artist, Whitney Vangrin.

Folds emerges from the work of three late, iconic feminist artists (Laura Aguilar, Ana Mendieta, and Hannah Wilke) whose connection to the landscape and the body has deeply inspired an intergenerational scope of artists active today. Traversing a range of disciplines including photography, video, sculpture, drawing, and performance, this expansive cohort builds upon their predecessors’ legacies through the varied lenses of physical and environmental health, illness, disability, gender oppression, cultural hybridity, and spirituality. The visceral, emotional, and undeniably sensual qualities of many of the works are amplified through a shared embrace of the paradoxical; they are at once vulnerable and resilient; serious and humorous; devastating and celebratory; present and absent; seen and unseen. Collectively, and across time, these artists suggest that perhaps their true power lies within the folds of what they choose not to reveal to us. Many thanks to Michael Davey, Raquel Mendieta, Amy Owen, Andrew Scharlatt, Marsie Scharlatt, and Sandy Schuster for making this exhibition possible.

About Winslow House

The project resides in a historic farmhouse in vallejo california - landmark no. 23 - a gothic revival built in 1860 by george greenwood & later named after isaac winslow. the house has a history of offering space & time to the arts - the intent is to carry this forward. as we all know, it is becoming harder and harder to find spaces in the bay area that allow for introspection and creative response. here you will find this. the next proposal window for residency in 2026 is sept 1-7, 2025. january, april, july and october are the month long residencies available to 5 artists at a time - serving 20 artists per year. the offer is time and space. each residency culminates in an open house for the public. we are open to most mediums and most practices... film, dance, visual art, music, literature, journalism, philosophy, history, agro-ecology, poetry, performance projects, and their points of intersection. winslow house project is part of both a local and global counter-space. what is drawn here continues to evolve and expand. & please see calendar for other occurrences which happen onsite throughout the year - performance projects, band residencies, poetry residencies with readings, dance residencies with performances, film screenings and workshops (ie writing days).
