“‘The Space We Exist In’ serves as a platform for rich dialogue and self-reflection, inviting artists and viewers to question what it means to ‘Hold Space’ or ‘Exist Within a Space.’ Through a diverse ensemble of visual artists, the exhibition creates visual poetry that encourages active engagement and challenges viewers to redefine their perceptions of the world and their place within it,” explained Ossei-Mensah.
