Alexandra Nemaric, Family Grimoires, Installation shot, 2018

Upon joining Seventh Gallery, Ramírez undertook this curatorial project in the entire gallery at their original address in Gertrude Street, Fitzroy.


In Family Grimoires: The Diaspora Fantastic, we see how artists address the notion of dislocation by summoning kinsfolk. They do this by incorporating familial narratives, found photographs, board games and memories in artworks that hold a dreamy quality. This show gathers these studio tactics like spells in a grimoire (book of magic) to cast a deeper understanding of diaspora. By grouping these artists together, Ramirez seeks to create a space where the potential of cultural heritage can be explored through conflicted, unconventional and fantastical forms.

These artists are New York based Jiwon Choi and Melbourne based Alexandra Nemaric, Deanna Hitti, Phuong Ngo and Lucreccia Quintanilla.
