Creativity Explored

Created in partnership with Ana Teresa Fernández, Of Here From There | De Aquí Desde Allá immerses visitors with fantastical, large-scale sculptures and videos showing the process of mark-making by over 50 CE artists. 

“Their voices are their marks, their depictions,” Fernández notes. "Their work is how they narrate or explain how it is they see the world. And through this collaboration, we wanted to recreate their magical landscape. A moment where we can be and exist in that world of marks."

In 2019, Fernández facilitated more than 15 art making workshops at Creativity Explored as a visiting artist-in-residence, initially exploring ideas of movement, migration, home, and place with the artists. But Fernández’s vision evolved as she became increasingly interested in their very personal visual vocabularies and intricate mark-making, documenting every step of the artists’ process. 

Of Here From There | De Aquí Desde Allá is generously supported by the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, Grants for the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and California Arts Council.
