Exhibition Reception: A House that Watches Back

Event Details

Please join us in the Schneider Hall Galleries for the opening of A House that Watches Back on Thursday May 7, 2026 from 4 - 6 p.m.

A House that Watches Back examines the suburban home as both a place of refuge and a mechanism of control. Once conceived as a peripheral escape from urban congestion, the suburban ideal has become haunted by the “good life” fantasies of Americana. Rooted in promises of ownership and autonomy, it persists as a system fractured by spatial politics, social engineering, and economic control. Featuring photographic and visual artwork from local and nationally recognized artists, each approaches the home through a hauntological lens, reading domestic space as a charged site where memory, power, and ideology linger, repeat, and refuse resolution.

This exhibition is curated by Hite Critical and Curatorial Graduate Sttudent Jacob Grant. This event is free and open to the public, please join us!
