I AM MINE / WE ARE OURS - LIMITLESS TRANSFORMATION is a public art exhibition that showcases the work of six different women and nonbinary artists of varying cultural backgrounds as they explore radical LOVE as an act of resistance and personal identity in their journeys to self-discovery.
The decision of our identity is made long before birth. Factors out of our control such as race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and more set society’s perceptions of us.How and when do we decide to make our journey to self-discovery our own? How do we navigate through the psychologies of collectivism and individualism in the communities that shaped us while keeping LOVE as a guiding force?
“Even if it makes others uncomfortable, I will love who I am.”
