Ebony G. Pa erson: Dead Treez Friday | Noon‐5pm | Fuller Building, 808 Commonwealth Avenue
Dead Treez showcases the ar st’s mixed‐media installa ons and jacquard‐woven photo tapestries that explore class, gender, and race through the lens of popular culture, social media, dress, and personal adornment. Pa erson’s highly embellished, illuminated imagery is intended to cap vate the viewer in order to look beyond her mesmerizing surfaces for deeper meanings.
Influenced by Jamaica’s dancehall culture, Jamaican‐born Pa erson explores the paradoxical rela onship between tradi onal gender codes and the bombas c aesthe cs of dancehall pageantry, presen ng a complex vision of masculinity. Dead Treez is an immersive medita on on dancehall fashion and culture, regarded as a celebra on of the disenfranchised in postcolonial Jamaica.

Mar ne Gu errez. Using various media idioms such as classic Hollywood film, fashion

construc on of gender and self. In each of her projects Gu errez casts herself in different
roles—from pop star, to Italian heiress, to exo c dancer. While her characters appear familiar,
they are not representa ons of reality; rather, they are hyperbolized manifesta ons of
feminine glamour, desire, and sexuality. Gu errez’s work, always narra ve, calls a en on to
the fic ons that surround and define us—those we internalize through daily life and those we
create for ourselves. The exhibi on is curated by Jordan Karney Chaim, doctoral candidate
