Death to the Dictator / comic book page art by Darya Farah / pub. 2025


With the past year of chaos, and domestic terrorism from ICE, Border Patrol agents, and the Fed, this exhibition provides space for artists, writers, journalists, citizens, musicians, activists, organizers, and the rest of us to tell our stories and our truth.

The artists exhibiting in this show directly reference the past year in the U.S. and they go far beyond this place and time. Their artworks are topical and they are also broader in scope.

We—and those who came before ushave been at this for a very long time. We want to show that we're not going anywhere!
