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.
