This group exhibition gave me a new appreciation for a curatorial format that, for me at least, can often feel forced or just plain boring. Featuring works by 23 artists who participated in the Broken Boxes Podcast, the show resists thematic homogeneity by highlighting each artist according to relationships rather than aesthetics. Here, the artists’ voices are literally amplified, creating an ambient soundtrack for the show and offering visitors multiple perspectives on art making and meaning. With sculptures, installations, films, and more that embody topics like mental and physical health, Indigenous sovereignty, and migration, I was compelled to visit multiple times, eagerly trying to commit it all to memory.
