About Mottos
As explorations in emotional survival, Mottos, curated by Laura Marsh, contextualizes the work of artists who challenge social binaries and offer alternative insights about age, gender, race, and identity politics. Intended to raise social awareness and challenge pre-existing stereotypes, the exhibition offers viewers the agency to embrace one’s own body and social mission. Intended to be viewed as an immersive installation, the viewer is in the dark to process poetic gestures, fluid forms, and powerful images. The included works approach social topics with compassion, tact, and considerate cultural messages.
Artists participating in Mottos are Ari Seth Cohen, Bernadette Despujols, GeoVanna Gonzalez, Dana and Ruth Kleinman, Aurora Molina, and Michelle Murphy.
