ReflectSpace is pleased to present a solo exhibition of first-generation Colombian-American artist Carolyn Castaño.
Born, raised, and educated in California, Castaño’s work reflects her experience as the daughter of immigrants—iterative, interdisciplinary—moving drawings and paintings from the two-dimensional flatness of paper or canvas to digitally printed fabric, to videos that incorporate animated drawings, to furniture pieces, to nail decals featured within the larger context of a video.
In Viajero del Tiempo/Time Traveler, Castaño draws on her late father’s photographic archive—comprising 4,000 photographs, films, and videos—to consider the fragility and ephemerality of memory and identity. The pictures in the exhibition are juxtaposed next to drawings of the landscape (inspired by Alexander von Humboldt’s landscapes and botanical studies) to consider how the land figures in the trajectory and memory of the migrant/immigrant.
Complementing Castaño’s work, the PassageWay features photographs by young women from the Las Fotos Project, an organization that elevates the voices of teenage girls and gender-expansive youth from communities of color through photography and mentoring.
Viajero del Tiempo/Time Traveler is curated by Ara and Anahid Oshagan and will be on view from November 15, 2025 - February 1, 2026.

Established in 1906.
Library services in Glendale were first provided in 1906. The women of the Tuesday Afternoon Club, a social and philanthropic organization, raised money through a series of lectures to fund a library collection. The library opened in a renovated pool room at Third and E (Wilson and Everett) Streets with seventy books, soon supplemented by a State Traveling Library of fifty more, and served a population of 1,186.
In 1907, the City Trustees passed Ordinance 53 which established and supported a library which "...shall be forever free to the inhabitants and nonresident taxpayers of the City of Glendale..." The first year the library had 251 books, 165 registered patrons, and a budget of $248.88.
In 1913, a Carnegie grant of $12,500 made possible the construction of the main library at Kenwood and Fifth (Harvard Street). The building was completed and dedicated November 13, 1914.
