Sequoia Tangerine Kimmel
Melilt l ak ngiltii a kotek

November 15, 2025 - January 31, 2026

Gallery hours Fri/Sat 11-4pm

Pilele Projects is excited to present Sequoia Tangerine Kimmel's exhibition, Melilt | ak ngiltii a kotek (where I come from). Kimmel is a Palauan-Mexican American artist from Santa Cruz, California. Their work embraces their Palauan heritage and culture by carrying on the tradition of Palauan Storyboards. Typically carved into wood, Palauan storyboards illustrate many legends of the Palauan people. Kimmel’s work translates this tradition into the medium of ceramics, preserving those legends in the form of everyday objects. The exhibition will feature a selection of their ceramics as well as an installation of her personal collection of Palauan storyboards.
