Vision(es) is a series of exhibition walkthroughs staged in conjunction with TMR’s current show, Aqux, that brings together 23 Latinx artists to re-imagine ideas about home and the ways it shapes our sense of personhood. In these walkthroughs, led by artists and other cultural makers, the idea of home is explored through a wide-range of perspectives. For the first event in this series, Aqux artist Star Montana leads a walkthrough that reflects on the following questions: How and why do we make pictures of home?
