There’s a shoebox under every bed. We have keychains from family vacations in early adolescence. We have photographs from our grandparents, and second grade best friends. Maybe a letter from someone loved, and lost. There is a drawing on a napkin from a night out, left by a stranger. A baby shoe, a birthday card. We keep mementos and mini altars, to what once was, and never will be again. The ephemeral lives on through memory.

Mementos serves as a resting place for the impermanence, the past versions, and the recollections. In this exhibition, Ninety-Seven Modern highlights reminiscent works, as an ode to the past versions of us, whoever they may be.

Included artists: Isabel Betsill, Audrey Parsons, Ember Skirsky, Hunter Parsons, Mady Cantrell, Elan Schwartz, Jaclyn Iskow, Kelsey Gale, Monica Hamilton, Sadie Ziembowicz, Hsing-Chia Hsieh, Mara Magyarosi-Laytner, and Amrita Shah.
