Dance of Resistance
August 15 – October 25, 2025
Dance of Resistance features artists who voice the stories of their communities through figural works of art, exploring histories and offering pathways to healing and empowerment. Each artist has an artistic practice rooted in their LGBTQ+ identity. Approaching their work from unique viewpoints, they employ varied media to present themes from lived experience and imagined futures. The artists unite in using their art as a means of activism, visually conveying issues important to themselves and their communities. They amplify silenced voices, expose myths, and promote a dialogue that invites reflection on the human experience, illuminating the power of art to inspire change and foster understanding in our diverse world. These works primarily include figural depictions, placing a queer bodily presence firmly in the spotlight.
Featured artists will include: April Bey, Ria Brodell, Amaryllis R. Flowers, vanessa german, Laurence Philomène, Preetika Rajgariah, Amy Reidel, and Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi.
