How do we acknowledge the past while still moving forward? How can we create space for healing while maintaining a healthy relationship with trauma and grief? What does communal healing look like for you?
Retracing the Rubicon brings together works by ten artists who examine the power of collective catharsis and communal healing. Through painting, printmaking, photography, video, and sculpture, the artists challenge the notion that individuals are responsible for alleviating personal, collective, and historical grief. The exhibition demonstrates how processing grief collectively can be a powerful alternative to linear self-help narratives that emphasize overcoming grief independently. The featured artists aim to generate conversations about living with grief rather than moving on from it.
