Join Rae Richards — curator of the 2025 Rough Gems exhibition Transnavigation: Coming Into the Body as Home — for a curatorial talk and walking exhibition tour. Led by Union Hall’s chief curator Esther Hernandez, we will be discussing the concept, inspiration, and selected works.
The curatorial talk will be recorded and posted to Union Hall’s YouTube afterward.
Transnavigation: Coming Into the Body as Home captures a broad landscape of tools being used by trans folks to move through inside and outside worlds. This exhibition investigates how trans jewelers are navigating their bodies and the world their bodies exist in—whether through reinterpreting tools, inventing alternate ways of being, revisiting ancestral practices. It is an invitation to sit in the skin of our bodies, to practice being unsingular, fractured and whole, never allowing urgency or burning injury to deny intricate, fleshy, tumultuous, stories. Artists include Leslie Dylan Boyd, Camille Garcia, Maxwell Davis, Paisley Rose, Sulo Bee, and Omar Monroy.
Transnaviagation will be on view through Saturday, February 8th, 2025. Union Hall’s gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 12 – 6 pm. Learn more at unionhalldenver.org.
