The group show I know it’s the end and I am full of beauty investigates such notions of consent and refusal as it relates to the shared power of being that exists amongst marginalized communities and the way we survive together. This exhibition is the practice of an “alternate modality of survival”; a conceptual framework of what it means to be, love, and fight in a world that only continues violence against Black/Indigenous/POC and queer communities.

The exhibition takes the concept of a “relationship” to the world we exist in and then analyzes, questions, and critiques such relationships. How are worlds created and how does love exist in these new places? Especially what does love look like through the rejection of this world and the expansion of another?
