Join us for a closing reception at the Guardhouse. This will be a rare opportunity to enter the Guardhouse and see the artwork up close and speak directly to the artist about his work and inspiration.

Demetri Broxton’s installation at The Guardhouse, Just Beyond the Waters (2025), reveals how family members, whether named or unknown, become stewards of ancestral knowledge. Through intricate craft and profound intention, Broxton’s work reclaims the past as an active force that reshapes the present and empowers futures defined by liberation, connection, and ancestral power.

This installation is linked to the themes explored in FOR-SITE’s exhibition Black Gold: Stories Untold at Fort Point National Historic Site from June 6 to November 2, 2025.

Demetri Broxton at The Guardhouse is made possible thanks to generous support from the ARB Fund with presentation support from Wayee Chu and Ethan Beard, Jill Cowan Davis, Corinne Dixon, Paul Henderson, and Clara Kamunde.
