Trained as an architect, Elizabeth Casqueiro is attuned to the way

cities and buildings carry the weight of memory, identity,

and emotion—silent witnesses to who we are and

what we hope to become. 

Guided by a humanist spirit, she believes we move forward

by navigating binaries and contradictions, by tolerating

and entering into debate. 

In this site-specific response, Elizabeth Casqueiro

weaves film, sound, and painting into a

layered reflection on a polarized America.

Through the lens of Washington’s monumental

architecture, she exposes the tensions between

order and dissent, control and aspiration — inviting us

to consider the fragile, potent threads that

still bind us across our divides.

Visitors to the exhibition are invited to enjoy and reflect on

the short film Crossrepeat, the soundscape collaboration Citimusak,

and a series of double-sided panels inspired by six highly symbolic buildings.
