Ken Gonzales-Day: History’s "Nevermade" at USC Fisher Museum of Art

27 Jan 2026

by Jody Zellen

A measured survey of three decades of work by Ken Gonzales-Day, examining cultural memory, race, and history through imagined archives that quietly question how the past is constructed and understood.

This mid-career survey at the USC Fisher Museum of Art brings together photographs, drawings, video, and research spanning more than 30 years. While questions of race and queer identity remain central, the exhibition also approaches history as a theoretical structure shaped by power, omission, and interpretation. Seen together, Gonzales-Day’s works invite reflection on how historical narratives are formed and how they continue to shape the present.
