Prompt: A palimpsest is any sort of scroll or parchment in which the original text is
erased, but still legible. Exceedingly important texts have been found only as the half

we look for whats erased.
Curators: Max Branigan & Ryan Oskin
Artists: Tammy Mercure, Roxana Azar, Alyssa Kazew, Carlos Lowenstein, Cait Oppermann, Juan Madrid, James Gentile, Andrew Jarman and James Smolka
