Parallel Horizons

features a collective of nine international artists navigating landscapes of transformation. For each artist, the move to New York became a journey inward, fuelling deeply personal work. By bringing these projects into conversation, we witness displacement and dreams alongside alternative ways of living and being in the body. The collective describes this process of viewing and interpreting co-existing realities as "feeling the world in parallel.” 

 The unique projects in this show move between evolving perspectives, identities, and communities, asking essential questions across local and global contexts. How do we search for a home when it is no longer the place we come from? What does the intimate and visceral act of eating reveal about our relationships with nature? If our species ceases to exist, what might our human archive look like? Within this visual dialogue, we become participants in the narrative’s unfolding possibilities and perspectives. In the midst of change, some works explore embodied identity, hope for a family, and the impact of incarceration on a community. Going deep, one project investigates the ways society and the environment can create a crucial sense of belonging, while another explores the social barriers to accessibility. We encounter the tension of being caught between two psychological states and the courage to face an uncertain future.  

Celebrating a diversity of visual storytelling, from documentary to creative practice, these artists create works that are personal and courageous. Through parallel lives, moments, and horizons, they ask us to pause, listen, and actively engage in shaping our collective future.  

Parallel Horizons beckons us to investigate, challenge, and reimagine the boundaries of what it means to be human.
