…Communicate. It's what people most frequently ask of each other— and yet, when it matters most, we can fail to find the words and ways to convey what we need to.
This show is a meditation on communication and connection, seeking to use art to explore people's thoughts in relation to profound questions: - What does communication mean? - Why's it so hard? When is it easy? - Where do words come from? Where should they go? - In what ways can different modalities allow us to better understand each other— especially in the context of the current cultural climate?
Artists share works that align across two directions:
- either practically: depicting expressions of things that go unsaid— such as telling someone they love how frustrated they are by them, or how much they need them; or telling someone they hate that they forgive them, or how much they've been hurt by them.
- or philosophically: exploring the nature of communication itself— what works, what doesn’t, and what could make it work for more people.
