Transcendent Reflections: Where The Body Speaks

On View: March 16 – May 24, 2026

This exhibition features six artists from the Project TRANSCEND, a 12-week workshop supporting transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary artists in creating life-sized self-portraits through body mapping. Beginning with the outline of their own bodies, each artist transforms scale into visibility and resistance. Through color, text, and symbolism, the works reflect lived experiences of joy, grief, resilience, transition, and community. These pieces are more than portraits—they are embodied narratives. Displayed in recognition of Transgender Day of Visibility, the exhibition affirms that visibility is not simply being seen, but being honored and understood. Each work reminds us that taking up space, telling our stories, and being visible are acts of courage.
