  • We’re All Healing: Tending to the Wounds We Were Taught to Hide

    • 5 January 2026
    • Posted By Ellen Muse

    In a world that often demands our resilience before our rest, We’re All Healing invites vulnerability as an act of resistance. Where there is transparency, there is healing; where there is healing, we can continue to blossom.

    This exhibition is an authentic conversation through visual storytelling, examining the harmful ideologies surrounding mental health in Black and marginalized communities. It holds space for what is often considered taboo, softened, hidden, or dismissed. We recognize that within our communities, the language for pain has not always been taught, yet the expectation to pack it away persists as our collection of unspoken pain continues to grow.
    We’re All Healing is not simply about what hurts — it is about what happens after the silence breaks. The journey is not meant to be linear, but it must begin. Allow this to be a place that reminds us it’s okay to feel, to name, and to start again.

    Exhibiting artists: Jamaal Durr, Tobi Ewing, Trudy Gaba, Erin Smith Glenn, Ciara LeRoy, Gift Mayambi, Romain Mayambi, James Pate, Dave Scott, Kimberly Wilfong Sigman.

    Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 31st from 6:00 to 8:00 pm in our Lindner Annex Gallery, 6620 Montgomery Road.

    We’re All Healing is part of the 6th Annual Voices of Freedom co-presented by Juneteenth Cincinnati. It features ten commissioned works by diverse regional artists. Curated by Zuri Ali.

    Kennedy Heights Art Center presents Rooms of Grief, an exhibition that invites artists to explore the spaces we inhabit when loss rearranges our world. Each “room” becomes a metaphor, where silence, memory, and renewal coexist. This exhibition seeks work that interprets grief not only as sorrow, but as transformation, revealing the textures, colors, and shapes of what remains and what begins again.

    Co-curated by Ena Nearon, Ten Talents Network and Mallory Feltz (KHAC).

    Opening Reception: Saturday, January 17 from 6-8pm. Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and community as we open this contemplative and deeply human exhibition. Light refreshments will be provided and live harp music by Lin Grieser. This event is free and open to the public.
