CURRENTS: Adaption, Brilliance, and Joy
Securian Gallery
December 7, 2023–February 25, 2024
CURRENTS is a group exhibition of work by disabled artists. Kindred to bustling bodies of water that move over and around boulders, and gusts of air that bend branches and leaves, CURRENTS references the strength, influence, and adaptability of disabled people and our communities. Mixed media artworks by artists Victoria Dugger, Ariella Granados, Aurora Levins Morales, Kelley Meister, and Lynda Mullan consider the ways disabled artists guide us forward through the present, and inevitably toward futures that prioritize and embrace all the complexities and joys of radical access and care.
This exhibition was curated by Drew Maude-Griffin as a culmination of their fellowship with the Emerging Curators Institute, a Twin Cities organization that supports the professional development of curators from diverse backgrounds.
