About
Artists are second responders, and this exhibition of 25 varied artists from 18th Street’s artist community present the multivalent ways artworks address the human capacity to overcome hardships on both global and personal scales. From meditations on memory, investigations into the warped passage of time, working through fraught familial relationships, and grappling with fear and longing in a time of public health crises and inequities laid bare, the artists in this show address our current moment both obliquely and directly, with humor, melancholy, and uncomfortable propositions. Creation during this time feels nothing like luxury; rather it is deeply necessary in navigating the darkness ahead.
18th Street will host related online events over the course of the exhibition.
