Message From The People, 2019
Message From The People is an exhibition that brings into focus the resilience, community, and knowledge prospering within the black and brown world. With resilience comes an emancipated mind; with community comes a cooperative utopia; and with knowledge comes freedom – the truest form of liberation.

Brotha, 2018
Brotha sheds light to the ramications of racial oppression amongst black men. Experiencing the work of six artists, we take a moment to understand the assimilation, angst, despondency, and absence society pushes onto black men, their families, and communities. Living in a society that constructs black humans as a threat, this exhibition aims to rehumanize black men and their emotional experiences.

Facets, 2018
Facets is an exhibition presenting works
from three emerging Columbia College
Chicago artists who diversely explore
architectural photography through
distinct consideration of form, light,
lines, and environment. Through these
considerations, each piece creates
an initimate point of view bringing forth
the commonly unnoticed intricacy of the
structures that surrond us.
