These three artists probe, resist, and (re)imagine the shape of what’s to come. ReTech fuses reclaimed technology and urban detritus into kinetic sculptures that pulse with both warning and wonder.
Paulette Traverso’s politically charged, inked works erupt with cathartic intensity—raw, rage-tatted images that speak to resistance, grief, and fierce reclamation. Each piece is an explosion of emotion and insight, channeling the turbulence of our times into bold visual protest.
Diane Komater’s wire figures distill the human spirit into calculated, expressive forms that offer both grounding and levity. Details reflect the humor and resilience needed to face the mounting absurdities of our world.
Come and gather with us as we navigate this dystopian terrain together—searching not just for survival, but for vision, resonance, and a way forward.
MUSIC by The Slow Poisoner
