The Future is Genderless

March 15 - April 28, 2023

The Future is Genderless asks us to question and examine the way that gender is personally expressed right now, and how the future of gender can evolve. We are at this cultural inflection point where body autonomy and body rights are being brought to the forefront and being intertwined with the complexities of our other identities. Can we embrace the varied and individual expressions of one another and find ourselves accessing the humanity we need to not only accept ourselves but accept others as they are? This show features over 15 local community and student artists showcasing paintings, sculptures, textiles, and much more.
