ANAMNESIS
presented by Bloodbath Studio
ANAMNESIS, is an immersive gallery experience exploring photographic archives, sensory-rich film, and handmade garments by local independent designers. The exhibition guides viewers through three years of Bloodbath Studio fashion and film productions. Anamnesis—meaning the act of remembering —invites audiences into the subconscious pulse of ritual, memory, and identity. The gallery is the studio’s most ambitious environment yet, merging interactive media, projection-scapes, tactile couture displays, and story-driven installation design to embody some core tenants of the studio: visibility is sacred, memory is a portal, and creation is a ritual. The exhibition is a co-authored environment: spearheaded by visual artist Maia Vollbrecht leading the visual art curation and Bloodbath founder and filmmaker Hannah Varnell guiding the opening experience and cinematic narrative of the gallery. Navarr Gonzales aka FLAMER supports the fashion dimension, producer Alexandra Sleeping employs local resource stewardship, and Bolm Arts Collective provides essential production support.
Exhibiting Artists:
The gallery features original film work by Varnell alongside garments produced by Bloodbath co-creators and independent couture designers FLAMER, Benjamin Medina, and DASHE. Media artists represented include cinematographers Angela Herr, Joey Hunt, and Andrew Barrera, producer/cinematographer Ivy Wei Chiu, founder of filmmaking collective 24 Cobras, indie-pioneer and photographer Ima Leupp, and documentary photographers Arthur Moss and Brittany NO FOMO - to name a few.
Live cinematography documenting designer creations provided by MJ Johnson of Salt Productions, director and indie-film luminary Michael Zumaya, and steadicam artist Matthew McCloskey. Space curator Marta Elena Cortez-Neavel of Futurkind studio provides curated spaces for connection.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsors
The gallery is supported by fiscal sponsor, Future Front Texas with libations provided by Grav, Goodnight Loving Vodka, Bubblr, Bloom Pop and Best Day Brewing.

Bolm Arts has partnered with AISD Visual Arts to curate ongoing professional exhibitions built around a shared theme with the educational gallery space inside the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center.
This new initiative will allow students and families to experience professional artwork alongside their own, building a bridge between classroom learning and the professional arts world! The current show, Word Play, is curated by Bolm Arts Collective members Devin Alejandro-Wilder, Sydney Dettmar and Stephanie Mervine. Bolm Arts will also feature a rotating body of work by collective members throughout the year in the shared gallery space.
