This exhibit showcases the work of the students enrolled at Adamson High School in AP Art. Some students are working on a Drawing Portfolio while others are working on a 3-Dimensional portfolio. The topics of the student’s portfolios range from personal experiences and frustrations that come from being a young adult today, to showing growth and change, and exploring human emotion in a non-traditional way.

ON VIEW IN THE OC3 GALLERY Aliyah Cydonia: donia
March 15 – April 12, 2025
Aliyah Cydonia’s solo exhibition donia, a contemplation on bloodlines, memory, and corporeal awareness, will open on Saturday, March 15, 2025 with a reception from 6 – 8 pm.
donia is an homage to lineage, a vein connecting the past. Paintings and a video depicting her ancestor Sedonia resurrect familial bonds and supplant her awareness of “lives lived before”. In another painting titled “The Pilgrimage” Aliyah depicts a Cake Walk, a dance that was originated by American Slaves; performing a mockery of the Waltz and other traditional European dances. Rendered in oil, the figures in the painting are faint providing a glimpse of ancestral memory hinting at the permeable connections in bloodlines.
Through research and reflection, her paintings and video installation in the exhibition experiment with the corporeal, attempting to access the information from the bloodline that is stored within her. She likens it to a journey, explaining “this series is an exploration of the pilgrimage going on in our bodies in relation to the experiences and the entropic memories from ancestors that are being stored in us”.
