RESONANT OBJECTS
Open Gallery
December 6, 2023 to January 13, 2024
This community art project was inspired by the idea that the objects we keep in our lives embody some significance to us and hold our stories. Through conversation, self-reflection, and explorations of Deanna Bowen’s exhibition Black Drones in the Hive, participants were invited to consider their relationships with objects. Which objects in our lives hold meaning? What gets saved and why? How do we decide which objects tell our story?

How people and events are memorialized often offers clues to who is doing the memorializing. While history is often understood as permanent and fixed, what if it were told from another perspective?

What inspires creation?
Process, Product, Mindset, portrays the artwork of 10 youth interns who were brought together for two weeks to collaborate on a group exhibition which expresses their identity through art. They chose to showcase their individuality by bringing their personalities to life through different styles and forms of art. The interns chose to ask themselves what inspires them to create.

HEBREW SPELLED BACKWARDS (תירִבעִ)
Lindsey Tyne Johnson
Open Gallery
January 21 to April 1, 2023
In her exhibition, Hebrew Spelled Backwards, Lindsey Tyne Johnson examines the complexities of identifying as Jewish and the fear and uncertainty that often come with it. Through a combination of modern, spiritual, and Jewish themes, Johnson explores discovering one's ancestry later in life and its connection to familiar experiences and art. By challenging people to learn more about cultures they may not understand, Johnson aims to create a space for dialogue and inclusivity.
