Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age
2026-03-28 - 2026-06-06 | Vision Gallery, 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ, 85225, United States
Have you ever sent a text message you knew would always go unanswered? Or visited a dead loved one’s social media profile just to reflect on them? You’re not alone. Is there Wi-Fi in Heaven: Grieving in the Digital Age explores how technology reshapes the ways we mourn and maintain bonds with the dead. As social media and digital tools transform our interactions with the living, they also create new tools for how we grieve. Through works that consider online rituals, digital memorials, and the management of “digital remains,” this exhibition reflects on emerging practices of public mourning, continuing bonds, and even pseudo-spiritual attempts to connect across the divide. In the networked age, grief too, is increasingly mediated through screens, raising questions about permanence, ritual, and what it means to visit the dead when physical presence is no longer required.

Heirlooms: Dawn Kushner
2026-03-28 - 2026-06-06 | Vision Gallery, 10 E Chicago St, Chandler, AZ, 85225, United States
Emerging from craft and Appalachian history, these laser-cut vellum doilies transform transgenerational loss into material form. The doilies incorporate archival photographs, news articles, and handwritten letters related to West Virginia’s extensive history of extractive industries. By burning and removing portions of the printed surface, the work itself serves as a place of extraction. The remaining translucent, fragmented forms become artifacts of mourning, symbolizing what cannot be fully reconciled or restored.
