Rebecca Ustrell: Permanence Opening Reception

Permanence presents the work of 2023-24 Pitzer College Activist/Artist-in-Residence Rebecca Ustrell. Ustrell’s video work and photography series of cyanotypes printed on paper and ceramic tiles document her collaborations with faculty and students across several Pitzer College SRX Courses. These photographs celebrate community collaboration, explore the embodiment of student and teacher, and reinforce the impact of access to experiential learning and cultural exchange. The exhibition explores how stories are passed down, fade over time, and reemerge as told from a different perspective.

Rebecca Ustrell is an artist, educator, and documentarian in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Ustrell founded Curious Publishing, a non-profit artbook publishing company that supports queer, BIPOC, and femme creatives through the publication of limited edition art books, zines, and print collections. She is the 2023-24 Activist/Artist-in-Residence, a collaborative initiative of the Community Engagement Center and Pitzer College Art Galleries, and the Event Coordinator for Museum Arts & Culture at the City of Ontario.

This exhibition is organized by the CEC and Pitzer College Art Galleries.
