Public Opening Reception: 
Saturday, January 17, 5-7pm

Minnesota Street Project Foundation is pleased to announce when he cries he looks like me, an exhibition bringing together new and existing large-scale sculptural quilts by mother-and-son artist duo May Gaspay & Mik Gaspay. Exploring quilting as care to create a soft archive that preserves and reinterprets intergenerational experiences, the exhibition navigates the entangled layers of memory, migration, and family history in a bid for connection that extends across oceans and generations. 

Transforming fabric into vessels for storytelling and healing, the works on view offer a collective meditation on the ways familial histories and inherited narratives are cared for and carried forward. when he cries he looks like me marks the culmination of the second iteration of the Warehouse Residency, a program launched to provide Bay Area artists at all career stages the dedicated time and space to create conceptually and physically ambitious new work.
