Beatriz Cortez: The Portals

The Portals is an exhibition in multiple locations that explores alternative genealogies of Williams College. The three outdoor components located on Main Street attend to omissions and erasures in the built environment of the campus. Inside the museum's Weston Rotunda, the immersive sound installation interrogates the stories that we selectively tell, those we remember, and those we choose to forget. In the adjacent Stoddard Gallery, the artist’s steel structures offer an embrace to two objects that came into WCMA’s collection against their will.
