Opening: Selfhood

Strata Gallery presents Selfhood, a juried exhibition by Rosemary Meza-DesPlas. This juried exhibition will be on view from January 2–January 19, 2024 with a special reception on January 5, from 5-7 pm.

Rosemary Meza-DesPlas selected thirty artists from locations across the United States including Colorado, Kansas, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington for this exhibition. Selected artworks are centered upon the concept of selfhood; the works consider how selfhood is constructed, altered, and reimagined. Artists investigate the multiplicitous nature of selfhood: gender, sexual orientation, race, class, age, ethnicity, and so forth. Selfhood, as a dichotomy, can reflect cultural norms and be a source of resistance to them. Navigating selfhood during disruptive times can lead to crossroads of crisis; therefore, some featured artists present visualizations of selfhood that explore the process of self-discovery, self-definition, and self-direction.

In this juried exhibition, Selfhood, visual artists address the fluidity and facets of identity within an intersectional discourse.
