Beyond the Whitewash

A traveling exhibition brings together a multi-racial group of accomplished artists and art workers to create work that explores the legacy and implications of white supremacy, privilege, and silence in North America. In the collection of mixed media works, each artist brings a unique perspective to the exhibition, providing insight into their experiences. A platform where diverse voices can be heard and represented together is a powerful reminder that we are all connected. Our collective stories show, not tell—and move the viewer to make powerful connections with their own life stories.
