MKF

Self Help Graphics & Art (SHG) will present Between and Before, Angeleno and American, which will consist of a series of residencies within SHG’s print studio, culminating with an exhibition as a collaborative multi-piece installation. Curated by Devon Tsuno, a fourth-generation Angeleno whose work focuses on the Japanese American experience, the atelier will feature up to six multicultural, multidisciplinary artists, including Aaron Estrada, Dane Nakama, and Mylee Etuale, who will explore Los Angeles as a site of diaspora, migration, and memory. Informed by their personal relationships to how gentrification continues to affect communities, the work made in the studio will draw on their unique experiences to address the complexities of identity, belonging, and exclusion. A critical component of Between and Before, Angeleno and American will be centering the voices of the Tongva artists and artists from other marginalized communities to critique the legacy of the American project. The exhibition will be on view in fall 2026.
