Curatorial Statement: "As artists, we imagine what could be different, sometimes what could be better. This exhibition invites engagement with that impulse while confronting the tensions that arise when our imaginings meet flawed reality. Take Care (of Us) explores how we shape (and are shaped by) ecosystems, environments, and one another, even as we remain vulnerable to forces beyond our control. 

Take Care (of Us) is not about prescribing solutions, but about holding space for complexity, interconnection, contradiction, and hope. “Take care” has many meanings: a caution toward one’s unintended impact, but also a preemptive taking of responsibility; to tend to, shelter and protect, or a goodbye that bids, 'look after yourself.' Each reflects our tacit attachments to a world larger than ourselves."

This CFEVA exhibition is in partnership with the Science Center.
