O V E R / E X P O S E D - Art Exhibition
2025-11-21 17:00 - 20:00 | ARTogether Center, 1200 Harrison Street, Oakland, 94612, United States
A group show by the 2025 ARTogether Artists in Residence.
What parts of ourselves do we keep safe from the hostility aimed at our communities? How do we share our art when we aren’t fully seen to begin with? How can we redirect the gaze to expose the oppressive systems themselves? When do we decide to reveal the true nature of our lives despite all this?
As immigrants, diasporic, queer, nonbinary, Black, mixed-race artists, femmes, parents, and healers, we are searching for a balance between what we choose to expose of ourselves and being overexposed to the greed and hatred around us. Our work takes up space and asks us to be vulnerable while we insist on the safety and dignity of our loved ones and neighbors.
Our works include mixed media, painting, sculpture, animation, installations, prints, and performance that move between disclosure and opacity. Some fragments are offered plainly, others remain guarded, resisting the demand to translate or explain. Here, exposure is not a spectacle, but a dialogue.
