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

    • 5 January 2026

    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.

  • *OPENS APRIL 25* Coming of Age: New works of the HAIRitage Series by Erin Smith Glenn

    *OPENS on Saturday, April 25 from 6-8pm*

    Since her graduate school experience at the University of Cincinnati D.A.A.P. (Design, Architecture, Art & Planning) program in 2008, Erin Smith Glenn has been constantly examining, understanding, and developing what HAIRitage means to her, and how she can use it as a means to serve her community. From two-dimensional works to installations and interactive works, engaging the senses through this ongoing series addresses Black hair culture in a way that demands its attention; begs to justify the discriminations against it; commands the viewer; and ultimately upholds the values of her ancestors. 

    Opening Reception: Saturday, April 25 from 6-8pm

    Artist Talk: TBD (will be announced soon!)

  • Entre Lo Que Fue y Lo Que Es (Between What Was and What Is)

    Works by Batres Gilvin reflect a meditation on in-between states, where memory, identity, and the body shift between presence and absence.

    Batres Gilvin, an artist collaborative in Greater Cincinnati, is comprised of Karla Batres and Bradly Gilvin, life partners who met in 2011 while studying at the Art Academy of Cincinnati. In a multiethnic partnership that joins the personal with the professional, Batres’ Mexican American heritage and Gilvin’s Southern American roots are a catalyst for complicated conversations about difference, otherness, and identity. In their Morning View, Kentucky studio located on the property of the Gilvin family farm and homestead, Batres Gilvin explores the local and global implications of immigration. Their artistic work is informed as much by larger political conversations as it is by life on the farm and daily interactions with Bradly and Karla’s immediate and extended family.

    In Batres Gilvin’s artistic work art becomes life and vice versa. As a multiethnic collaborative, Batres Gilvin is a study in contradictions. Playful irreverence exists alongside unflinching solemnity. An unsparing commentary on the inequities of US immigration policy is wrapped in sparkly, kitschy imagery, providing a sugar-coated dose of truth serum, Mexican American style. In Batres Gilvin’s world, contradiction is both material and tool; it is also a reminder of the complexity of humans and the necessity of holding space for difficult conversations.

    Opening Reception: Saturday, July 25 from 6-8pm

    Artist Talk: (TBD)
