An heirloom is more than an object; it’s a story passed from one generation to the next. At Ruiz-Healy Art, the exhibition, Heirloom, delves into the quiet power of everyday things to carry, reconstruct, and honor memory. The featured artists draw from personal archives that often point to both intimate family histories and broader cultural environments. Curators Sarah Beauchamp and Yadira Silva selected works from the gallery’s extensive collection that explore how cultural artifacts, gestures, and moments become embedded in visual language.
