Shaping Ourselves

May 3, 2026 – May 26, 2026

<p>How do we define ourselves? By our values, hopes, dreams, and fears. By our experiences in the past and present, the societies that raised us, the cultures and beliefs we hold. So many things shape who we are and who we hope to be. We are each unique individuals and part of a greater whole — circumstances guide us, but ultimately we each decide what is most important to honor within ourselves.</p><p><em>Shaping Ourselves</em> gathers work from artists reflecting on identity in its many forms: who we are as individuals, who we are together, and the forces — chosen and inherited — that make us. The exhibition embraces broad interpretations of the theme, offering a range of perspectives on what it means to become oneself.</p>
