…I approached the theme for this exhibit, “Transforming Perspectives”, as an opportunity to explore what family is. What it means and looks like to different people, cultures, and generations. With so many exceptional submissions to choose from, I focused on the pieces that displayed a unique perspective that not only reflected the diversity of what family is but also examined the recurring themes seen in family. Struggle, love, tension, companionship, fun, support and so much more…

transforming perspectives through storytelling imagery

— “These are the kind of things we need for the tired spaces of our world. This is the way we need to move forward in a world that is so interested in being comforted by the damp blanket of bad stories. We need stories of belonging that move us towards each other, not from each other; ways of being human that open up the possibilities of being alive together; ways of navigating our differences that deepen our curiosity, that deepen our friendship, that deepen our capacity to disagree, that deepen the argument of being alive. This is what we need. This is what will save us. This is the work of peace. This is the work of imagination.” — Pádraig Ó Tuama
