"Stitched Time" is an exhibition curated by Tamara Wasserman and Oliva Gallery showcasing works by five artists: Makeba Kedem-Dubose, Darin Latimer, Gina Lee Robbins, Helen Mayer Jones, and Tamara Wasserman. 

This exhibition highlights the idea of extreme kinship between artists separated by time and space. The showing artist found cultural phenomena from different corners of the world that feel to them like home. They re-use, morph, reinvent concepts and ideas, created, heard, tasted, and sung somewhere else or during some other time. "Stitched Time" aims to convey the fact that culture and time are not always linear and that artists may identify with other than their immediate surroundings. 

Through their artwork, the artists demonstrate their ability to "stitch time," creating connections between past and present as well as between different cultures and communities. The exhibtion invites the viewers to reflect on the power of art to transcend boundaries, thus connecting us to one another and to our shared human experience.
