From October 27 to December 12, 2025, Yale School of Art alumna Daphne Arthur MFA ’09 has an ongoing solo exhibition, Fragile Intangibilities at Washington and Lee University’s Stanier Gallery.
On the exhibition: Fragile Intangibilities “features 11 hand-sewn silk organza camping tents. Each tent bears ink drawings inspired by interviews Arthur conducted with fellow first-generation immigrants and migrants in New York City and Connecticut. As a Venezuelan-born immigrant herself, Arthur draws on these conversations to create floating, translucent mobile homes that visualize unique, personal narratives as kaleidoscopic spectrums of blended memory. The tents depict personal mythologies passed down through families and reaffirm diaspora as a living condition—one shaped by resilience, family reunification, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of viable futures.”
There will also be a lecture and reception for the exhibition on November 11.
