Camille Hoffman's dynamic installation,“See and Missed”, was featured by Jeong Park in the Los Angeles Times: Essential California series. This show at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art examines the impact cultural collisions brought on by colonization, in this instance between Filipinos and indigenous Chumash people at the Morro Bay landing in California.
For Hoffman, the exhibit is not a celebration but a questioning and conversation on the complicated ways we can look at the legacy of the Morro Bay landing.
“It is a conversation to acknowledge that this Morro Bay landing was a violent attempt to claim the land that isn’t theirs,” said Emma Saperstein, the chief curator at the museum. “The exhibit is a chance to use the space to hold those conversations.”
Camille Hoffman's solo exhibition, Mother Lands, opens at form & concept on August 26, 2022 and offers an opportunity for New Mexico audiences to experience Hoffman's mastery of placemaking through a complete transformation of our first floor atrium.
