Standing, Still
Bruised, but never beaten. Lonely, but not alone. Standing, Still represents strength and unity in times of struggle. This exhibition strives to capture both the societal standstill caused by the pandemic and the resiliency of communities, who have emerged still standing after their experiences. Eleven artists explore the topic of COVID-19 through first-person narratives and creative expression. Selected quotes from each artist accompany their work on the wall, creating a united narrative of individual stories.
Standing, Still is co-curated by Danielle New and Hanna Corneliussen, emerging museum professionals and students at the University of Washington Museology Graduate Program. Standing, Still uses the documented link between storytelling and empathy to promote mutual understanding and compassion for others.
This exhibit takes place on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish people, a people who have occupied and cared for this land since time immemorial. This land acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with indigenous communities.
En pie, aún
Herido, pero no vencido. Solitario, pero no solo. Standing, Still representa la fuerza y la unidad en tiempos de lucha. Esta exposición trata de capturar tanto el estancamiento social causado por la pandemia como la resistencia de las comunidades, que han surgido aún de pie después de sus experiencias. Once artistas exploran el tema de la COVID-19 a través de relatos en primera persona y de la expresión creativa. Citas seleccionadas de cada artista acompañan su trabajo en la pared, creando una narrativa unida de historias individuales.
Standing, Still está comisariada por Danielle New y Hanna Corneliussen, profesionales emergentes de los museos y estudiantes del Programa de Postgrado en Museología de la Universidad de Washington. Standing, Still utiliza el vínculo documentado entre la narración de historias y la empatía para promover la comprensión mutua y la compasión por los demás.
Esta exposición se imparte sobre las tierras ancestrales del pueblo Salish de la Costa, un pueblo que ha ocupado y ha cuidado de esta tierra desde tiempos inmemoriales. Este reconocimiento de la tierra no sustituye a las relaciones auténticas con las comunidades indígenas.
