Collective (in)Action
We are living in a time when we are hyperaware and sometimes even personally involved with contentious issues like climate change, immigration, gun control, social justice, war and economic disparity. We hear concerns commonly discussed but they remain widely unaddressed in our political, social and economic systems.
This juried exhibition asked artists to reflect on the values, priorities and identity they see within their countries and explore what may motivate action or inaction.
34 works were accepted from 12 States and 6 Countries- including Nigeria, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Canada and the UK. The Memorial Union Gallery is dedicated to developing interesting, timely and challenging art exhibits that foster consideration of diverse viewpoints. The Collective (In)Action juried exhibition is one of those shows.
