That familiar feeling one has upon entering a space. The muscle memory in opening the door. The sound of the latch. The unchanging shadows and smells. The echo of your footsteps on the tiled floor. 

They say déjà-vu is a phenomenon of dreams not remembered until they come true. But could it be that we have lived this all before? Or that we are living on a parallel plane, and that our paths are somehow cosmically converging? Whatever the explanation might be, it’s that familiar feeling that reassures us we are on the path meant just for us. 

This exhibition features the works of NIAD Artists who at one time attended Contra Costa College. The artists return to their foundation to shine as bright as the 3,743 comets known to orbit our solar system and serve as the symbol for their alma mater. 

Organized by Liliana Herrera, Exhibitions & Collections Associate at NIAD, and CCC alumna.
