SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Direct Experience
DESCRIPTION:“Direct Experience” is a group exhibition that highlights the voices of artists who are cancer survivors. The goal of this exhibition is to affirm that “life after cancer” not only exists but thrives—especially through the healing\, expressive\, and transformative power of art. \nThis group exhibition highlights artists whose work reflects personal resilience\, physical and emotional recovery\, and the evolving narratives of identity and creativity post-diagnosis.
