“Emmett Until’s story isn’t distant historical past—it continues to form the world we reside in,” says Sebastián Encina, director of curation & exhibition at Minnetrista. “This exhibition asks guests to take a seat with the truth of what occurred, to know the braveness of Mamie Until-Mobley, and to acknowledge how reminiscence, reality, and accountability are deeply linked. Remembering isn’t passive work—it requires consideration, care, and motion.”
