Held Together
Fragility & Endurance in Art
May 2025
Curated by Sergio Gomez
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Held Together delves into the intricate interplay between fragility and endurance, exploring how moments of vulnerability can coexist with remarkable strength. It invites viewers to reflect on fragility in its many forms—personal, societal, and environmental—and consider how instability, loss, and uncertainty shape the human experience.
For this exhibition, we’ve featured work that examines how artists navigate the delicate tensions in their lives and the world around them, confronting themes of impermanence, resilience, and repair. We welcomed both literal and abstract interpretations of fragility and endurance.
By examining the spaces where things come undone and are rebuilt, Held Together is a testament to the beauty and complexity of resilience in a world that is both precarious and full of possibility.
