EXHIBIT DETAILS:

Curated by Christine Texiera and Alexia Cota, this exhibition is in the spirit of the Thrive Together Network's encouragement for women to show all in the same month - Taking. Up. Space initiative.

Artists were invited to create new work or select work that responds to the exhibition title, SEEN | SCENE I CENE. Contemplating representation, being SEEN, acts needed to be seen, both by us as artists and as citizens, what's needed in the world. The SCENE both physically and environmentally. And CENE, a suffix that denotes how changes, when continued, can be seen as a whole era.

“One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.” - bell hooks
