Textures of Being
This exhibition brings together artists whose practices honor the bodyâits sensitivities and its wisdomâas a site of deep creative knowledge. Rooted in materiality and lived experience, Textures of Being reimagines disability as a distinct, intimate lens through which the world is encountered, shaped, and perceived.
