Contributing Artists

Regina Herod is a LA based artist who makes art that remembers. That resists forgetting. Her sculptural practice is a calling forth—of ancestral memory, of wounds and wisdom buried beneath the surface. Through the use of wood, wax, metal, glass and fire, she shapes those stories into form. Her materials twist, char, rupture and mend, echoing the cycles of displacement, migration, and becoming. They speak of survival and beauty, of history’s shadow and the light we forge in spite of it.

Herod is an adjunct professor of art and her works have been exhibited at galleries in Los Angeles, New York City, Mexico City and Belgrade, Serbia including The Irvine Fine Arts Center, Elliott Hundley’s Project Space, Eastern Projects, in conjunction with The Getty Museum’s “Jewels of Ancient Nubia” exhibition, The Ronald H. Silverman Fine Arts Gallery at CSU Los Angeles, The Philosophical Research Society and others. Ms. Herod has also collaborated in performances at The Broad Museum, The Wende Museum and Wonzimer Gallery. She is a 2023-24 Department of Cultural Affairs Trailblazers award recipient.
