Enrique Martínez Celaya’s There-bound mural welcomes guests to The Huntington’s Borderlands installation. Exploring identity, space, and migration, the artist paints on the glass façade to bridge interior and exterior experience through Latinx perspectives.

siapo—indigenous Samoan barkcloth abstraction—and solo—poetry in the Samoan genre and worldview, here composed in English—by Fa’afafine, non-binary Samoan artist Dan Taulapapa McMullin. Printed on cloth with ink painting, these works embody the fa’asamoa understanding that the body itself is an archive, carrying ancestral and personal memory through the mana of social and environmental relationships.

A highlight of recent additions to the permanent collection through new mixed-media works by Sandra Rowe. The work provides insight into the artist’s evolving practice and regional significance. Visitors encounter themes of abstraction, memory, and experimentation.

The online series features films created by Ghetto Film School students in response to The Huntington’s collections. Each cohort interprets artworks, archives, and landscapes through original cinematic storytelling. The program highlights youth perspectives and the power of creative interpretation in reimagining history.
