Invisible Disabilities >>

Invisible Disabilities explores the personal experiences of individuals living with disabilities that are not easily seen. Curated by University of Westminster graduate Samantha Joyce and designed by Kyung Eun Lee, this exhibit showcases a series of paintings, videos, and mixed media created by visual artists. Addressing the theme of representation, curator Samantha Joyce explains that “art in general is usually a good representation of the artist, their surroundings, and their community, but what happens when you have a disability that is not easily seen by the naked eye?” With this exhibit, she aims to “shed light on invisible disabilities and encourage their representation in a greater number of galleries and museums to help build a wider audience.”

Teaching Children About Racial Justice >>


Teaching Children About Racial Justice, curated by Rhode Island School of Design graduate Kyung Eun Lee, examines the unique ways we can gain a more profound understanding of racial equity and foster meaningful conversation with children and families. The exhibit features artists whose work includes paintings, photographs, mixed media, and sculptures that reflect on education and justice in today’s youth generation. Curator Kyung Eun Lee observes that “open dialogue and validation of children’s experiences is a vital step in encouraging honest, positive change in both ourselves and our communities.” Her curatorial vision focused on “harnessing the power of creativity to generate a varied discourse and inspire meaningful reflection among public audiences.”
