Regina Mamou is an interdisciplinary artist who focuses on the desire to understand the diversity of ideological systems. This interest stems from her familial background, where she grew up aware of the implications of ideology as it was intertwined with politics and religion. Regina's mother, a Polish-American, and Regina's father, an Iraqi immigrant, raised her multiculturally. As a former Chaldean Catholic priest, her father left the clergy and Iraq for fear of persecution. For this reason, she has continued to work on projects examining cultural structures and systems for over a decade.

This week in the Glassbox:

In the Margins // Through the Night is a duo show featuring the work of Summer Haddaway and Dylan Buckley Delaney. Through the Night explores the common thread between the artists’ work, showing night scenes, luminescence, and lone figures in the night.
In the Margins is a showcase of work that exists between the artists’ main practices whether that be unseen portraiture or work produced during the pandemic that slipped through the cracks of time and academia.
