Broken Boxes: A Decade of Art, Action, and Dialogue

Broken Boxes: A Decade of Art, Action, and Dialogue, curated by Ginger Dunnill and Josie Lopez, features large-scale installation, sculpture, video, and a robust programming line-up celebrating the work and ideas of 23 artists who have contributed to Dunnill's Broken Boxes podcast.The exhibition celebrates ten years of the podcast of the same name and amplifies the collective strength of contemporary artists.

 

Focusing on interviews over the past four years, the exhibition features large-scale installations by renowned artists and includes floating metal “jingle clouds,” a vibrant parade float honoring matriarchs, a colossal wolf forged from community care, brilliant mirrored tapestries honoring lives lost, a monument to Trans rights, and much more. Each of the featured artists engages their own cultural experience and elevates activism within diverse communities.
