A New World: Ohio Women To Watch 2023

Curated by: Sso-Rha Kang And Matt Distel

Dates: July 29, 2023 – October 6, 2023

“A New World: Ohio Women to Watch 2023 is a recurring exhibition program established to feature underrepresented and emerging women artists. The 11 artists within the exhibition offer portals into ideas and potential realities, which allows the familiar to seem new and exciting and the unfamiliar to seem compelling and possible. They explore alternative ways of thinking, making, and seeing that challenge dominant systems of navigating the world. The resulting new worlds are slight but important interpretations of how the artists navigate their own realities to reimagine our existing environment. These works possess an uncanny familiarity that is disrupted by unnerving alterations that challenge us to look closer and critically examine what we know.”
— Matt Distel and Sso-Rha Kang, Co-Curators
