How Do You Pray?

How Do You Pray? is an exhibition that represents the passionate voices of artists who actively pursue religion in their own right, refusing to fall in line with the overwhelming structures of our becoming of a Christo-nationalist nation, for while our government preaches morality, it is our own practices that truly define ourselves.

About the Alta Collective

Alta is the name of my great-grandmother, whose life was shaped by her labor as a farmer, waitress, mother, and grandmother. These call tags make Alta who she is, and because of these facets of life, the space will exist as one of hospitality. Her name also means “high” and “dignity.” Combined with Collective, The Alta Collective represents the highest form of communal and collaborative work, ultimately championing the creative. The collective opens doors to new people and ideas, challenges standard industry practices, and fosters new curatorial approaches. Its programming remains independent, resisting pressures from hierarchical or status-driven art communities.
