Turmoil and Transformation

Hera Gallery and Educational Foundation seeks work in all media—2D, 3D, and video—that addresses current turmoil and visions of the future. The exhibition explores how worldwide turmoil including the pandemic, racism, climate change, and political division might lead to transformation. Artists are invited to consider the emotional, physical, and spiritual effects of current events and how they might manifest into transformation. What does our world look like post-2020? Will transformation reflect the multiplicity of voices of America? How will our future be transformed by current chaos?
