Glasstire: Top Five: Heirloom

Glasstire counts down the top five art events in Texas. Heirloom, curated by Sarah Beauchamp and Yadira Silva, explores how cultural artifacts, moments, and gestures are embedded in visual language. Drawing from the Ruiz-Healy Art Archive, Heirloom explores everyday objects, inherited materials, symbolic forms, and language to carry, reconstruct, and honor memory. Featured artists turn to material such as family photos, ritual items, and heirlooms for preservation and re-contextualization. Objects, sometimes humble, other times ornate, act as traces of lived experiences.
