The Ellsworth Artist Residency Alumni Gallery

March 1 - May 17, 2025

The Ellsworth Artist Residency aims to empower artists at different stages of their careers to connect, learn, and evolve together. Art Share L.A. values our ongoing connection with alumni of the program, recognizing their experience and expertise as valuable assets to the artistic community. Artists who have completed one rotation of residency are invited back to share their insights and artistic journeys with current residents and participate in critiques that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing. 

The newly dedicated Ellsworth Artist Residency Alumni Gallery is a space for continued engagement, where former residents can showcase their artistic development and contribute to the vibrant artistic dialogue within the Art Share L.A. residency network and the broader community.

Featuring: Andrés Janacua 

Weaving provides a direct link to Andrés Janacua’s Indigenous past with the currents of cultural politics today. Echoing the patterns and textiles within his P’urhépecha community, they have become formative vehicles for him to exercise weaving as symbols of Indigeneity and its discontents. Janacua is invested in the conditions of subjecthood through means of tradition and how this may frame contemporary identities. “That is, if by working in a customary means anchors Indigeneity to the past, how will we ever be contemporary?”
