Nuclear Family | Artist Reception

Please join us for a reception on Thursday, January 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the work of Mengwen Cao, Jess T. Dugan, Yorgos Efthymiadis, Matthew Leifheit, Laurence Philomene, Anne Vetter, Matthew Finley and Kevin Bennett Moore. What makes a family? How do we define community? These fundamental questions are explored in the exhibition Nuclear Family, which re-imagines the concept of family, expanding our vision beyond traditional norms through the lens of LGBTQIA+ artists. The term traditional family often evokes a specific image: two heterosexual parents and their children. However, family dynamics are more complex and diverse than that single image implies. Nuclear Family challenges this definition by showcasing honest and authentic portrayals of LGBTQIA+ individuals, their families, and their communities. Featuring a diverse range of photographic and video works, the exhibition presents a compelling exploration of diverse family structures.
