Statement
By Kristin Texeira
The original theme of this exhibition was meant to
counter the chaos of our COVID-19 existence, to
provide a visual refuge of softness. But the United
States’ most urgent public health crisis—one that
has been brewing since our country’s inception—is
not COVID-19. It has always been racism—more
specifically, our systemic racist oppression of and
brutality towards Black people.
