About the Exhibition
The Radical Release Art Show transforms personal healing into public advocacy, inviting broader community engagement with social justice issues. Curated by Lo Patt and Sarah Martin (or Poetic Portals), this exhibition showcases participant creations that explore themes of rest, freedom, self-determination, and radical imagination.
Through visual art, poetry, and multimedia expressions, these mothers and children share their stories of resilience, healing, and hope. Their work stands as a testament to the power of creativity as a tool for healing and social change.
