UNIVERSAL CODES: WORKS BY DANIEL MARTIN DIAZ

October 2024

Arizona-based artist Daniel Martin Diaz pulls from an eclectic mix of influences including fantastical Mexican religious iconography, mystical votive offerings, the Early Netherlandish painters, Gothic ornamentation, arcane religious sigils and medallions, alchemy, and the symbolism of secret societies to create distinctive paintings. Much of his work examines the concepts of death and religion, as he seeks to pose questions but not answer them.

THROUGH THE DARKNESS TO LIGHT: PHOTOGRAPHS FROM ALONG THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD

November 10, 2024–January 7, 2025

Through Darkness to Light showcases the photography of Jeanine Michna-Bales, who has spent more than a decade meticulously researching “fugitive” slaves and the ways they escaped to freedom. While the unnumbered routes of the Underground Railroad encompassed countless square miles, the path Michna-Bales documented encompasses roughly 2,000 miles and is based off of actual sites, cities, and places that freedom-seekers passed through during their journey.
