Crystal Z Campbell’s (2022 Awardee) multimedia works focus on the complex history of the Philippines, particularly its time as a US colony from 1898 until 1946 and the aftermath. With varied media unified by their material presence as “skins,” whether manila envelopes, fragments of abaca paper, or scientific glass forms, Currents 124 provides a fascinating and nuanced interrogation of histories of colonialism, colonial exploitation, and ongoing attitudes to empire, nature, and the natural world.
