Ceremony | Junior High Gallery

A solo exhibition by Olivia Margarita Gastaldo

Ceremony is a four part video installation by Olivia Margarita Gastaldo. Ceremony invites its audience to confront and challenge the toxic impacts of catholicism and colonization - specifically on women and queer people. Each piece references a ceremony or common anecdote in the catholic church, and speaks directly to the church’s violent legacies ever present in our modern society. The issues we face today are direct reverberations of the past — it's up to us to reform our culture for the next generation. Ceremony encourages us all to evaluate traditions of old and revolutionize rituals of the future; a future rich in love, celebration, transformation, and community unity.

What will be your ceremony?
