YOU'RE INVITED to the opening of Kinfolk by Christina Erives at Junior High on May 15, 2026 7pm — 10pm.⁠
⁠
Christina Erives’ work is rooted in the language of folk art—where storytelling, tradition, and daily life meet through the handmade. She is drawn to the quiet power of objects shaped by hand, carrying marks, symbols, and gestures that feel both personal and shared. ⁠
⁠
She understands kinfolk as more than family—it includes all those connected through making, sharing, and remembering. The people she comes from and those she finds along the way. Each piece becomes a vessel for connection, holding stories that are both intimate and collective. ⁠
⁠
Working primarily in clay, she explores the balance between function and narrative. Surfaces are carved, glazed, and layered with imagery that echoes folk motifs, reinterpreted through her own visual language. ⁠
⁠
At its core, her practice honors making as a form of remembering—an offering to the past, a reflection of the present, and a gesture toward the future—where art continues to connect us to our kin, our communities, and the enduring thread of shared imagination.

Before May slips away, come celebrate the people who raised us, loved us, and shaped us at “Mẹ Ơi, Oh Mother!” In Vietnamese, “Mẹ ơi” is a tender call for “Mom,” filled with warmth, comfort, and love.⁠
⁠
This special evening in celebration of Mother’s Day and AANHPI Heritage Month will feature short film screenings by Vietnamese American directors and producers: “Mẹ Con (My Mom),” “Newspapers,” and “No More Sad Songs.” Join us for a special Q&A session with Sophie Trần and Trace as they reflect on mother figures, storytelling, and community. We can’t forget the arts and crafts activities for everyone to enjoy together! Bring your moms, aunties, chosen family, and loved ones. Hosted by the Vietnamese Creatives Collective, this all-ages event is open to everyone!
