All the Sacrifices You’ve Made / Todos los Sacrificios Que has Hecho
A Project by Borderland Collective
February 5 – October 16, 2022
All the Sacrifices You’ve Made / Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho is a collaboration between students and staff from the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at the University of Washington and Borderland Collective, an arts collective from Texas. Participants curated photos from their family albums, made new photographs, and recorded their oral histories. The resulting exhibition creates a uniquely personal connection between the viewer and the families and serves as an acknowledgment of the contributions, resilience, joys, and sacrifices made by farmworkers from the Eastern Washington agricultural regions of Yakima and Wenatchee.
Hear from Borderland Collective’s curators Jason Reed and Mark Menjivar along with Luz M. Iginuez, former director of CAMP at the University of Washington, in this program presented on Jan. 29, 2022:
The exhibition was created by Borderland Collective’s Mark Menjivar and Jason Reed with CAMP staff and students including Luz Iniguez, Natalia Esquivel Silva, Orfil Olmos, Gabriela Ruiz, Moises Mendez, and Alondra Torres.
In the adjacent gallery, this contemporary exhibition is complemented by a selection of archival items from the Washington State Historical Society’s collections exploring the political and economic histories of land and labor in the region.
When the All The Sacrifices You Have Made / Todos Los Sacrificios Que Has Hecho ends, the family photographs and oral histories will be added to the WSHS permanent collections, preserving these meaningful histories for generations to come.

This focused selection for the Henry’s mezzanine features recent photographs by Paul Mpagi Sepuya (b. 1982, San Bernardino, CA) that represent his interest in how pictures are made, seen, and circulated. It is presented on the occasion of Sepuya’s 2022 Monsen Photography Lecture, occurring June 17, 2022. This annual presentation brings key makers and thinkers in photographic practice to the Henry. Named after Dr. Elaine Monsen, the series is designed to further knowledge about and appreciation for the art of photography.

Across his artistic practice, ektor garcia (b. 1985, Red Bluff, California) challenges the hierarchies of gendered and racialized labor, combining a queer punk sensibility with the handcraft traditions of Mexico, his ancestral homeland.
In textiles, ceramics, and metalwork, frequently in combination with found materials, garcia engages vernacular and craft practices historically cast in diminutive or marginalized roles, ascribing renewed value through intimate, ritual processes. The resulting objects are hybrid in nature—both malleable and solid, dense and porous, sharp and tender—evoking the body and its labor as a source of pleasure and pain, rupture and healing. Pieces are often reconfigured; textiles are made and unmade. Undoing the knots is as important as reknotting to find new points of connection and possibility. For his exhibition at the Henry, garcia worked with faculty, staff, and students at the University of Washington’s Ceramic and Metal Arts Building to create a series of new linked-chain sculptures made in ceramic, copper, and glass. Comprised of individual, interlocking links, these chains will form a series of mutual and contingent relationships across their constitutive parts as they suspend and drape throughout the double-height volume of the gallery. Integrated among the linked-chain sculptures, garcia will install a collection of objects from his Mexico City studio, along with butterflies made of crocheted copper wire that escape the confines of the gallery and inhabit interstitial spaces of the museum. A complimentary exhibition publication will accompany the exhibition.
ektor garcia is a participating artist in the Henry’s Artist Fellowship Program, which is intended to advance artistic inquiry through the mutual exchange between invited artists and the larger University of Washington community. It is designed as a generative program that promotes dynamic collaboration and facilitates artistic development, aligning the Henry’s commitment to innovation and inquiry with the University’s standing as a leader in research. The 2022 pilot year of the Artist Fellowship Program is made possible by the Jones Endowed Fund for the Arts.
Artist Bio
ektor garcia earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Columbia University. He has completed residencies at International Studio and Curatorial Program, New York; Cove Park, Argyll and Bute, Scotland; and Ox-Bow, Saugatuck, Michigan. garcia has held solo exhibitions at Progetto, Puglia, Italy; Sculpture Center, New York; and Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany, among others. His work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions, including at the Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art, China; New Museum, New York; El Museo del Barrio, New York; and Prospect, New Orleans.

Chloë Bass (b. 1984, New York) is a multiform conceptual artist based in New York and St. Louis. Her work in performance, installation, text, and social practice investigates the potential of daily life as a catalyst for intimacy, scaled from individuals to groups. Originally trained as a theatre director, Bass embraces Bertold Brecht’s idea of alienation: the discomfort that arises from calling attention to structure, and the things that we do without thinking, through naming or pointing. As Bass states, “my work evokes the particular state of attention produced by being alone in public: the sudden sense of everything as fascinating, the strange anxiety between feeling invisible and suddenly becoming aware that you are seen.”
For Bass’s project, commissioned and organized by the Henry, a series of stone benches will be arranged in familial groupings throughout Seattle’s Volunteer Park. Each bench will have its own engraved inscription, artist-written text that both stands alone and creates a larger meaning across the series of seating, alongside a silhouetted image applied in UV responsive pigment, which allows the image to change based on the level of available sunlight. The project examines themes of cultivation and wildness, the laws we impose to control human bodies, hierarchy and proximity, and stones as both memorials and boundary markers.
Artist Bio
Chloë Bass (b. 1984, New York) is a multi-form conceptual artist working in performance, situation, conversation, publication, and installation. She is an Assistant Professor of Art at Queens College, CUNY, where she co-runs Social Practice Queens with Gregory Sholette. Her work uses daily life as a site of deep research to address scales of intimacy: where patterns hold and break as group sizes expand.
Bass has held numerous fellowships and residencies: she is a 2020–2022 Faculty Fellow for the Seminar in Public Engagement at the Center for Humanities (CUNY Graduate Center), New York; a 2020–2022 Lucas Art Fellow at Montalvo Art Center, Saratoga, CA; and was a 2019 Art Matters Grantee. Recent honors include a residency at Denniston Hill, Glen Wild, New York and a BRIC Media Arts Fellowship, Brooklyn. Her projects have appeared nationally and internationally, including recent exhibitions at The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven, Germany; BAK basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht, the Netherlands; the Knockdown Center, Queens; the Kitchen, New York; the Brooklyn Museum; CUE Art Foundation, New York; Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space New York; The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and elsewhere.

Native Arts & Cultures Foundation (NACF)
Portland, OR
The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition at the Center for Native Arts and Cultures in Portland, Oregon. “Where the Waters Come Together” explores Indigenous perspectives of our relationships with rivers and oceans. The exhibition features Native artists responding to fundamental questions around cultural buoyancy, biodiversity protection, food sources and material necessities, and the realities of the colonial reshaping of traditional access to waterways and shorelines.
Native artists across the country have been responding to social and environmental issues that affect them and their communities. They are drawing increased attention to Native perspectives in shifting a national narrative of invisibility, misunderstanding and misappropriation. Clear in all of this work are our essential relationships to land-base. Through this lens, Native artists in the exhibition employ several mediums, including two and three-dimensional works, installations and multi-media works, moving fluidly between contemporary and traditional practices.
EXHIBITION – APRIL 22-JUNE 30, 2022
WHEN: Wednesdays-Fridays 11:00 AM-6:00 PM and Saturdays 11:00 AM-4:00 PM (PST)

Iranian American Community Alliance
Seattle , WA
Seattle Iranian Festival is part of the Seattle Center Festál series and produced in partnership with Iranian American Community Alliance (IACA).
In 2022, Seattle Center Festál is celebrating 25 years of stories and traditions. The theme, “Where the World Gathers” links together the series of 24 free festivals presented throughout the year, each with a unique cultural focus, identity, and range of engaging activities.
COVID-19 Protocols:
In terms of COVID requirements, Seattle Center is a City of Seattle department. Thus, we are following the guidance from the City of Seattle as well as King County Public Health. Learn about Seattle Center’s health and safety protocols at our events. To protect the public, City staff and contractors are asked to be fully vaccinated.
The festival will take place in-person on Saturday, June 25 at 11am-7pm in the Armory Food & Event Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
This year’s theme is the “Celebration of Iranian Women”. It is an important moment in time to celebrate Iranian Women, especially their activities, contributions to the community they live in, and representation of Iran & Iranian.
The 16th Annual Seattle Iranian Festival is a one-day celebration of the Iranian Culture, inviting Iranian and Non-Iranians to come together under the roof of the Seattle Center Armory as part of the Festál family. All day, during the event, there are performances whether it is dance, music, or a quick speech from stage. The parameter of the Armory, there is Bazaar setting where there are vendors present selling their goods, usually handmade; while there are business owners promoting their line of business such as real-estate or insurance. Every year, there is Persian food available for purchase along with tea & pastries. There are free children’s activities all day, typically in the line of the theme of the festival. IACA, who organizes the Annual Seattle Iranian Festival, holds a table for information as well as tables alongside it selling IACA and festival merchandise and other goods.
Seattle Center Festál presents Seattle Iranian Festival in partnership with Iranian American Community Alliance (IACA). The festival brings together Iranians, Iranian-Americans, non-Iranians in celebration of the culture with poetry, music, food, tea, comedy, and more.
HISTORY
2006 was the first year the active members of the Iranian community joined hand-in-hand with the board members of the Iranian American Community Alliance (IACA) to organize an event that has now become the annual Seattle Iranian Festival. IACA, as an organization, came from a vision the founder, Ali Ghambari had for the future of the Iranian generation here in the greater Seattle area. As parents, they already knew their roots and maintained their heritage through their household and upbringing of their children, but what about the generation of their grandchildren? That is when Ali and a selected group of Iranians formed the IACA organization to not only bridge the gap between the Iranian and the American communities, but to create an established organization for the existing community and the next generations. IACA has remained a well-established grassroots organization dedicated to organizing its largest event of the year, Seattle Iranian Festival, while supporting other organizations and events.

We will use our combined voices to communicate these messages to our local and state representatives for the recovery, re-establishment, and growth of science, heritage, and the arts for all of our communities.
These meetings are free and open to the community. We’ve organized them by county, so you’ll be able to connect with other cultural leaders in your area. However, regardless of where you live, pick the meeting that works best within your busy schedule.
On the agenda:
- Debrief of cultural success in the state’s legislative session, including new resources like $80 million for cultural programs and organizations
- New legislation and funding opportunities, the federal government has provided cultural programming with tremendous support over the last 18 months. What’s on the horizon and how do you become an advocate?
- Listening. What do you need and what should we ask for? And, how do you get involved? It will take a broad coalition to secure future funding.
- More information about our coalition. Do you want to be more involved in policy development and advocacy or learn about membership? We’ll plug you into future activities so that your community is represented.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
This class will provide a way for you to relax, unwind, de-stress and release energy that has been pent up so you can receive all the love and peace within. Energy healing will be infused throughout this time together.
You will be guided through a peaceful and healing 30-minute meditation using words and sound to take you to a peaceful state of mind. This class is for someone who is new to meditation or even those seasoned in meditation.
Meditation is known to help bring your mind and body into a parasympathetic state of mind (rest and digest) to help bring healing within you. Studies have shown that the more you are able to experience meditation and mindfulness into your life, you’ll experience being more present, able to handle stress better, decrease high blood pressure, feel more relaxed and improve brain function.
Sound Healing really touches upon the vibrational energy within us and relieves stress by drawing your body into a centered space. Some benefits of Sound Healing: provides instantaneous deep states of relaxation, turns off the ‘fight or flight’ mode and activates the ‘rest and digest’ mode, improves mental clarity and brain functioning, increases your level of physical energy and mental concentration, brings balance to brainwave activity, and enhances cell vitality, vascular flow.
Please arrive promptly to secure your spot. The class will be held outdoors. Waivers are required. Dress comfortably for the weather, bring a yoga mat or blanket (if desired), and water bottle. Chairs available on site.
Need more mid-week wellness? Come early for Yoga with Atlee Treasure, 6pm – 6:50pm (May 18 – July 13.).
