SUMMARY:RITUALS AND RELIQUARIES: Francesca Hummler
DESCRIPTION:September 30 - October 6\nOpen Daily from 11 am - 6 pm\n\nPrivate View for UC Alumni: 3 October\, 6 - 9 pm\nPrivate View Tickets here\n\nPublic Opening: 4 October\, 6 - 9 pm\n\n“Rituals and Reliquaries” is a solo show by London-based photographic artist and researcher Francesca Hummler\, MA in Photography. Hosted in the evocative setting of the Crypt Gallery\, the work engages with a crisis of faith initiated by the artist’s entry into adulthood. Raised in the oppressive purity culture of conservative Protestantism in the United States\, the work reflects on how the church limited the artist’s expression of gender identity and sexuality.\n\nThrough therapeutic photography\, "Rituals" charts the artist's journey towards self-definition\, reconciling faith\, sexuality\, and identity. Despite moments of near abandonment of faith\, the artist has forged a personal relationship with God. Self-portraiture\, a ritual in itself\, played a transformative role\, guiding the artist from despair to rediscovered faith.\nVisit to discover biblical parables reimagined through photo montage and theatrical staging\, infused with the whimsical overtones of childhood play. The artist blends dark humour with vivid colours\, to challenge established symbols and rituals. You are invited to explore the dualities within religious beliefs and reconsider an alternative perspective on faith.\n\nCurated by Christiane Monarchi\, this project is supported by the University of California Trust.\n\nSpecial thanks to Antoine d'Agata\, Amin Yousefi\, Abraham Adams\, Sarah Grice\, and Violet Del Toro.
