Curated By: Dinah Poellnitz
March 11 – April 11, 2025
This exhibition reflects on the delicate balance between tradition and transformation in a time of uncertainty. Artists navigate this space with care, shedding practices that no longer serve them to cultivate new landscapes of equity and belonging. Their works embody unlearning – releasing harmful norms, reclaiming creative autonomy, and reimagining artistic foundations rooted in humanity and empathy.
Through diverse media, they ask: What must we let go of to break cycles of exclusion? What futures emerge when we prioritize collective healing over institutional power
In letting go, we make space. In taking root, we nurture possibility.
This exhibition is an invitation to reflect on how art can evolve beyond inherited structures into something more just, accessible, and deeply connected to the community.
