For The Public represents the physical manifestation of the artist’s desire to not just create, but to exhibit work that calls to be experienced by the public. As a pandemic struck the world, we all continued to exist, work and create. Artists of color have historically sustained a creative practice through tumultuous and uncertain times. The creative practice and resulting work serves as a method of self care and expression, as well as a source of inspiration for the audience. This exhibition represents the space for these artists to allow their ideas and works to emerge in the physical exhibition realm once again.
For the Public is the culminating exhibition of the 2021 AnkhLave Garden Project Fellowship. This exhibit was facilitated in partnership with Rhizome Project of Flux Factory, and presented at Local Project.
