Between Us is a free creative portrait studio in the RCCD Gallery at Bay Street Emeryville.  Each week brought a new set design, new theme, and new invitation to show up and be seen. It is built around liminality – the in-between states of time, space, and identity we all move through. 

Every portrait accumulates into one collective installation at the August 29th closing show. Between Us is created by artist Jasmine Singh Rosado.
