Vanessa Ayala's '24 (CCS Art) senior thesis exhibition, “i come into existence, only to fall apart” is on display from April 8th to 11th, 2024 in the CCS Gallery at UCSB. Ayala specializes in world-building that traverses the liminal thresholds of their identity as a Queer Latinx raised in a traditional Catholic household. The exhibition explores the artist’s role as a nepantlera, forming new realities of abundance and an identity free from trauma and the marks of institutional violence. Let it all burn down; there is hope in starting anew. 

Join us in the CCS gallery today, Tuesday, April 9th at 5:30pm for an artist-led tour. Light refreshments
