Unmoored/Unbound
Being an artist often means accepting uncertainty and embracing the unknown, in our lives and in our work. At a time of political, economic and technological upheaval, art serves as a powerful expression of our uncertain and liminal existence.
Unmoored/Unbound is a BWAC juried group exhibition in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts in Gowanus, Brooklyn. The show will present artworks that explore themes of loss, transition, liberation, freedom and deliverance. Art of all mediums will be considered including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation. The curators welcome existing work as well as new work made in response to the exhibition prompt. Of particular interest is work that explores how art can be a vessel for transition, lesser known sources of strength and wisdom, and the value of community in times of disruption. Unmoored/Unbound will provide viewers with inspiring and expansive accounts of how artists survive and thrive in dark and challenging times.
