Examining the career of Bay Area icon Deborah Oropallo, di Rosa presents Moving Pictures: A Survey Exhibition of Works by Deborah Oropallo and Collaborators. This survey exhibition spans three decades of creative practice, filling the expansive Gallery 2 and spilling across the grounds. Originally trained as a painter, Oropallo incorporates mixed media techniques, including photomontage, video, computer editing, printmaking, and painting into her practice. Her composite works layer diverse visual sources, often addressing themes of climate catastrophe, political uprising, and gender identity.
