Join HCCC for the opening of A Material Inheritance, an exhibition examining the cultural, material, and symbolic histories of silver and its role as a generational heirloom. In celebration of our 25th “silver” anniversary, the show explores the material’s enduring presence within practices of making, ritual, and adornment and brings together contemporary artists whose works reflect on silver’s resonance across time and cultural contexts.
