Pippa Hetherington: The Rest is Memory Solo MFA Exhibition Opening

Visual AIDS Intern Pippa Hetherington will showcase her MFA Solo Thesis The Rest is Memory, an exhibition that examines heritage, history, and kin, attesting to the impossibility of disengaging our personal stories from history as she crisscrosses between the US and South Africa. Hetherington reflects on the difficulty of extricating herself from a primal attachment to the land in which she was born, and to the significance of remembrance.
