Audacious

October 10 - November 22, 2025

This exhibition honors courage in material, concept, process, and presence, amplifying voices that challenge, inspire, and redefine what it means to be seen and heard. Guided by Audre Lorde's words, “It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences,” this exhibition invites us to embrace the beauty of diversity and the transformative power of visibility.
