Join us for the closing conversation of "Ritualware", an exhibition by Austin-based artist Ariana Kimball. Ariana's installation explores care, routine, and the quiet labor of keeping things alive, both physically and emotionally. Through materials such as hydroponic plants, chia-grown objects, and carved wood forms, her work reflects on ritual as a way of grounding ourselves in cycles of presence and persistence.

This online panel brings Ariana into conversation with a group of invited artists who each had the opportunity to visit her studio during the residency. Together, they'll reflect on Ariana's practice and installation, and expand the discussion to larger themes of ritual, care, and spatial storytelling in contemporary art. The conversation will be moderated by Manik Raj Nakra with a brief introduction by Aryel René Jackson.

Cage Match Project (CMP) gallery lives in an industrial caged-trailer. Measured at 20x8x7 feet, this weathered and rusted container resides in a gravel parking lot in Austin, TX where it is under constant exposure to the elements and 24-hour public viewership. By fully embracing the caged-trailer as both literal and conceptual context, Cage Match Project purposefully stages a narrative of the artist-at-odds, with either history, space, or a work of art itself.

Since 2017, through an open call process, with several exhibitions per year, CMP has hosted 21 Rounds of physical installations, 2 seasons of podcasts, 12 workshops all of which are created and led by the community and invited artists and collectives.
