A Place I’ve Never Known

A Place I’ve Never Known invites artists to explore inner geographies shaped by memory, longing, and imagination rather than fixed terrain. These spaces may appear as interiors, landscapes, or environments drawn from lived experience, imagined refuge, fractured recollection, or acts of resistance. We seek work that questions why places are invented, dismantled, or rebuilt. What does it mean to construct a place from fragments of memory, desire, or necessity? The exhibition looks beyond conventional landscape or still life to consider place-making as an act of protection, revision, survival, healing, or defiance. The exhibition centers on fabricated, altered, and psychologically constructed environments shaped by narrative. We especially welcome interpretations that complicate the idea of 'a place I’ve never known,' including perspectives informed by displacement, instability, reinvention, and the creation of imagined spaces of safety and possibility.
