Stephanie Syjuco: After/Images, from Seattle's Frye Art Museum, is the Oakland artist's largest California show, filling OMCA's Great Hall. Photographs, collages, sculptures, installations and a new video rework images from US institutional archives, using chromakey green and props to examine how images shape history, power and belonging, including the US occupation of the Philippines.
