Artwork: "The Motherhood Gig" by Marlene Ferrell

Art guides us to imagine new realities. It gives voice to the disappeared, the marginalized, and the unseen. EMPOWERED features artwork that guides us to imagine new realities and that allows us to be transported to worlds unknown and known. This exhibition calls out the many instances of injustice and leads the way to a more just and empowering future— one where we find community and see each other reflected in our world. Curated by Haifa Bint-Kadi.

Opening Reception: Saturday January 11, 2025 from 2-5pm

Exhibition Dates: January 11, 2025 - March 28, 2025
