Exhibition – smash the ceiling, floor, and walls

smash the ceiling, floor, and walls; take the broken shards and blow it back critically analyzes the personal, professional, and political implications of heteronormative and patriarchal barriers through the creative work of femmes and gender non-conforming artists. By reframing the social issue through interactions: smashing, gathering, and blowing, this exhibition references some of the ways artists are actively processing their lived experiences. smash the ceiling, floor, and walls; take the broken shards and blow it back considers how both national and international trailblazing artists across generations continue to boldly and unapologetically advocate for equality, freedom from violence and sexual harassment, professional recognition, bodily autonomy, sexual liberation, human health rights, and self-empowerment beyond every last real and imagined sheet of glass.

The Equal Rights Amendment was proposed almost 100 years ago, if we are to move to broader Constitutional equality we need to stand with each other and for each other to empower us all. Consider supporting the TGI Justice Project, donating to Let’s Get Free: a Softer Landing Fund, or calling your representatives regarding the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.
