Refusing Refusal
A multimedia exhibition that critically explores how artists of color can reject institutional norms and create spaces that center and express our multifaceted identities. The project represents a purposeful rejection of the limitations that have historically been placed on us.
By stepping outside of these restrictive frameworks, Refusing Refusal opens up space for more liberating, self-defined approaches to creating and sharing art. The exhibition also examines how art can be shared in ways that move beyond formal structures, inviting more intimate and communal forms of engagement.
In response to the constraints of the pandemic, the project evolved into a hybrid format, with weekly features presented both through the virtual platform and the physical space of NoMü NoMü.
