Come see Sites of Memory in the CPAC Gallery befor

Come see Sites of Memory in the CPAC Gallery before it closes on September 19th!⁠
⁠
Sites of Memory is an exhibition inspired by the selection for One Book One Denver: The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.⁠
⁠
Drawing from the themes of The Nickel Boys, this exhibition examines how trauma is embedded in place and carried across generations. Through portraiture and landscape, four artists map emotional and historical terrains where memory resists disappearance and the past remains urgently present.⁠
⁠
Featuring the work of Harlan Bozeman (@harlanbozeman), Justin A. Carney (@joule_zei), Taylor E Edgerton (@tayloreedgerton), and Letitia Huckaby (@huckabystudios @talleydunngallery).⁠
