Exhibition Overview

“The studio isn’t just a place to create, it is a refuge within a refuge, a place where externally mandated compromises can be temporarily minimized so that individual world building can be prioritized. Enlightenment doesn’t come from the university, it comes from the experience of self and our relationships.”
—Zoë Charlton

This exhibition punctuates the end of eight artists’ time together in DC. Having met in the aftermath of COVID-19, their introduction offered an exciting opportunity to reconnect with the community, exchange ideas about the contemporary world, and grow their artistic practices. The artists use diverse media to explore several themes including community, self, nature, and desire. While end quote may imply conclusion, it also signals the beginning of new chapters of creation and collaboration.
