MIYA HANNAN

Miya recently completed a month-long research trip to Montana funded by the Franklin Research Grant. She traveled from town to town along the railroad lines where Japanese workers once lived in camps. It was an incredible experience. She gathered historical information by speaking with local residents and visiting museums, and also collected soil and loose railroad spikes.

LISA JARRETT

Lisa has a solo exhibition titled Tenderhead on currently at the Portland Art Museum in the Black Art and Experiences Gallery

In Tenderhead, Lisa Jarrett weaves together her interest in migration and tracing lost familial histories to Beauty Supply stores and salons—critical intersections of Black life. The artist’s first solo museum exhibition in Oregon features new works and site-responsive installations that activate the abundant patterns, colors, images and textures found at the Beauty Supply. She says that, “The Beauty Supply is my art supply store.” It is a site where she accesses physical materials as well as the less tangible memories activated by these materials so important to her work.
