This exhibition confronts us with the undeniable realities of our complex world. The artists presented in this exhibition utilize video, painting, and installation to explore themes of war, displacement, political injustices, and the legacies of colonialism. The artworks invite viewers to engage with uncomfortable truths and serve as tools for sparking dialogue, fostering empathy, and igniting a sense of responsibility within us.
We are pleased to announce that we are the recipients of a WESTAF CARES Relief Fund for Organizations grant, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts’ CARES Act of 2020! Thank you Westaf and NEA. This will help us continue to celebrate culture through art, music, food and people to help change lives and better our community.
