Antepasados: Those Unseen
Original works by Sigrid Benson and Marisa Sayago

Friday, May 5, Arts and Culture El Dorado will unveil its new gallery space, the Switchboard Gallery, with its latest exhibition Antepasados: Those Unseen. This exhibition features the original works of Sigrid Benson and Marisa Sayago, two local artists, and examines the complexity of human relationships, kinship, and the invisible presence of those who came before us.

Sigrid Benson serves as Director of Exhibits and Collections for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, and her series of original prints explores our continual relationships with those who have come before us.

Marisa Sayago, the Department chair of the Visual Arts Department of Folsom Lake College, is a celebrated sculptor and painter, and her works intertwine with Benson's in examining what personhood means and how our relationship to others bears echoes throughout our lives.

The free, public Opening Reception for Antepasados: Those Unseen is Friday, May 5, from 6 to 8 pm.

Exhibition Dates: Friday, May 5 - Sunday, June 4, 2023
