The UNM Graduate Art Association and Kukani Gallery Announce the Annual GAA Juried Show:

“The Act of Arriving examines liminal spaces as sites where temporal and spatial boundaries are undisturbed and actively navigated. Rather than positioning acts as a moment between fixed states, the exhibition positions arrival as a continuous process shaped by movement, duration, and perception. Collectively, the exhibition considers liminality as a generative framework for understanding how meaning, identity, time and place emerge through ongoing processes of becoming and arriving in the land of New Mexico.” – Jesse Littlebird

The Graduate Art Association is thrilled to partner with Kukani Gallery for this year’s exhibition. We see this collaboration as the beginning of an ongoing relationship that strengthens connections between UNM graduate students and the local community of artists, galleries, and art spaces across Albuquerque and New Mexico.

Strata Gallery announces an Emerging Member solo exhibition Shimmering Gloom by New Mexico-based Brianna Tadeo.

Join us for a free unique workshop on March 28, 2026, from 2:00-4:00 pm for an immersive experience exploring the captivating world of silver gelatin paper and the impermanence of photographic art by Brianna Tadeo. Reservation required on Eventbrite.

Brianna Tadeo (they/them) is a visual artist whose work explores impermanence and transformation through experimental photography. Utilizing analog and digital techniques, Tadeo embraces fragility, inviting images to crack, fade, and disintegrate in pursuit of unexpected beauty. Their practice is rooted in curiosity and the quiet magic of light and material change.

Shimmering Gloom invites viewers into a world where photography is not just about capturing a moment, but about transformation and the shimmer that appears amid change. Tadeo offers a poetic meditation on light, loss, and the beauty found in impermanence.

Tadeo holds a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA from the University of New Mexico. Their work has been exhibited nationally and recognized by SF Camerawork’s FORECAST 2025 and Lenscratch as one of the “Top 25 Students to Watch.”
