 Forget Me Not
August 8 – September 18, 2026
Artist Talk: August 8, 5:00 – 6:00 PM
Reception: August 8, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
The Oak Cliff Cultural Center is proud to present Forget Me Not a group exhibition featuring Flower Shop Artist Residency spring 2024 cohort artists Sue Montoya, Sam Rawls, Sarah Reagan, Cecilia Sierra, Jesus Treviño, and Cielo Zuñiga. The exhibit opens with an artist talk from 5-6 pm followed by a reception from 6-8 pm on August 8, at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center.
“Forget Me Not” examines the preservation of memories around love, self-exploration, and grief toward collective healing after living and cross-pollinating on the border town of Brownsville, Texas, in March 2024 as part of the Flower Shop's Artist in Residency. This exhibition is a token of keeping love and memories alive through photography, sculpture, painting, printmaking, textiles, and animation to explore ideas of remembrance, healing, placemaking, re-building, and nostalgia.
In this exhibition each artist explores how personal history informs our lives, how we navigate the world, and the art we create. With a focus on representations of the body, Sam Rawls explores the impact of societal standards and family dynamics on self-worth while the exaggerated expression and gesture in Sarah Reagan’s carved busts collapse of binaries between high art and play, “perfection” and improvisation. Through cyanotypes, textiles, and photography, Cecilia Sierra and Cielo Zuñiga commemorate loved ones and growing up in international generational homes, engaging physically and emotionally in an act remembrance and resistance. Sue Montoya and Jesus Treviño explore ideas around protection, literal and spiritual, to explore ideas around constant processes and mending through meditative processes that speak to healing. Speaking to memory, place, and transformation, Forget Me Not highlights the interwoven experiences of these artists and invites viewers into their personal experience.
