It's Here, I am
Side Street Studio Arts presents It’s Here, Am I — an exhibition amplifying the voices and creative resilience of immigrant communities targeted by systems of power. Featuring work that reflects lived experiences of displacement, resistance, racialized violence, and world-building beyond oppression, this multidisciplinary show invites artists to respond to the realities of communities under siege, including the emotional impact of Operation Midway Blitz. (This exhibition will be held in concert with our June PRIDE exhibition and will run alongside the July solo exhibition by Arnaldo Utrera.)
