An upcoming exhibition about gender representation:

Nov. 19, 2022 – April 9, 2023

This exhibition, curated by Michelle Gewurtz, features a group of five emerging, mid-career and established artists working in media ranging from photography, sculpture, textile, film and installation. Work by the contemporary artists touches upon issues of identity, activism, non-binary gender, race, queer politics and aesthetics, as well as the legacy of Cahun/Moore.
