September 2022 — Kinfolk House Announces Fall Project, ‘Formation’

Kinfolk House announced today the details of its fall project, Formation, featuring work by celebrated artists Emily Mayo, Jenelle Esparza, and Earline Green. The latest exhibition will launch with an opening reception Saturday, September 10, 2022 from 12 pm – 6 pm; all three artists will be in attendance. What does it take to build something new? Desire, resilience, faith, and a foundation.

This project explores the idea of building on assets such as home and land as the basis for creating something larger than oneself. As a newly-formed Black- and Latino-led organization nested in a historically Black and Latino neighborhood, Kinfolk House recognizes that it is truly a blessing not only to keep a family home, but also to transform it into something larger than a single person or family. Because of long-standing inequities rooted in systemic racism, too often, Black and brown families are unable to keep significant assets like property, in order to build generational wealth.
