Passages features a group of contemporary artists who embrace themes of journey and transformation in their art. The exhibit examines each artist’s unique drive to redefine themselves and transcend the world around them. Some artists claim agency as they assert personal or cultural identity; other artists create work that recognizes the complexity of societal constructs and expectations, or shared inequalities. Featuring regional and national artists, Passages is a visual investigation of the process of transition – from the creative to the narrative – moving to a greater understanding of our individual and collective experience.
