Taking Up Space: Women's Connection Stories
February 26 - March 31, 2026
This exhibition will explore art not just as a medium of self-expression, but as a vessel for women’s collective restoration. Each piece will serve as a bridge between the teller and the observer, to transform individual vulnerability into communal strength. When women share their stories, they release their weight; when they witness the stories of others, they offer them a home.
