ART TRAILER GALLERY

The Art Trailer Gallery lives in a 1960’s Aloha made in Aloha, Oregon. It was rescued from a neglected RV park in the northern part of the Long Beach Peninsula. After lots of TLC, it has transformed into a bright and beautiful open space to reflect a traditional gallery. It is now part of the Artist Residency Program and our non-profit organization, Sou’wester Arts. Exterior mural Summer 2018 by artist Nicky Kriara.


NOW SHOWING

Edge Effect: A Liminal Bodies Photo Artifact  by LILLY DO

Edge Effect was a collaborative movement piece created specifically for Sou’wester Art Week 2025. It explored renewal and transformation through contemplative and ritualistic movement, creating openings to make meaning and define new ways of belonging and relating as emergent beings and descendants of Asian Diaspora people.

In preparation for the piece, Lilly and performers No “Noli” Reyes, Ezri Galban Reyes, and Miro held a photoshoot on the Washington coast as a way of capturing in photos the emotions and themes explored in the performance. Inspired by Filipino martial arts and color schemes in movies like Zhang Yimou’s Shadow, Lilly played with distance and closeups to explore how the characters relate to each other, the struggle of being in relationships, and the connections between the characters and the environment around them.

Costume design by Olivia Giammalva and mask created by Wendi YuLing. Original movement piece was a collaboration between No “Noli” Reyes, Jamae Ann Sabangan, Ezri Galban Reyes, Miro Jooyoung Oh, Limanjaya, and Lilly Do.
