JÆNE, pronounced like ‘gene’ as in ‘genetics’, is a new term that Mads Randall-Warnica-Powers and their mom, Treena, developed together to replace the term ‘daughter’ and/or ‘son’. This idea roots from conversations they've had with one another since Mads came out as non-binary. Through ceramics, metal, leather-burning, wood-burning, and ritual; JÆNE makes space for difficult knowledge and hardships that stem from queerness. In an effort to explore queer pasts and futures; this exhibition is an invitation for strangers, familiars, loved ones, and ancestors to be present for conversations that require connective listening and care.
