Craft NB is seeking a curator for its Biennale exhibition titled Unboxed: Shared Human Experiences.
Craft NB is excited to announce an upcoming art exhibition titled “Unboxed: Shared Human Experiences.” This exhibition aims to transcend the boundaries that divide us, inviting us to see beyond the boxes, labels, and stereotypes that so often separate humanity.
“Unboxed” is a jubilant celebration of diversity, a heartfelt recognition of our shared experiences, and a resounding call to embrace empathy and understanding. We collectively weave our identity, irrespective of age, color, creed, race, sexual orientation, gender, or any other label that society might place upon us.
Our journey extends beyond the confines of our own experiences and into the very planet we call home. Climate change knows no boundaries, and its impacts are disproportionately felt by disenfranchised populations. In this exhibition, we not only break down the barriers that divide us as humans but also envision a world where we unite to confront the pressing challenge of climate change.
As we celebrate diversity, let us also celebrate the strength that comes from unity. We recognize that marginalized communities often bear the brunt of environmental crises, and it is our moral duty to give them a voice in the fight for a sustainable future.
“Unboxed” serves as a poignant reminder that we are all threads in the same tapestry. Each thread is unique and valuable, contributing to the rich and intricate fabric of humanity. In embracing the full spectrum of human identity, we celebrate our shared humanity.
