Use Your Voice: Actions Against Violence
When the fractures in our society distort our ability to see clearly, we often turn to artists to provide the language, music and abstraction that help us make sense of things. Artists bring transformation to our lives in ways that only nature, spirituality and knowledge can. They change us. But only when we want—only when we demand—that change for ourselves.
The exhibition A Reflection of the Times by artist-activist Chire Regans is free and open to all from May 21 to November 1, 2021 at Bakehouse Art Complex.
“A Reflection of the Times is dedicated to everyone who encouraged me to use my voice. I hope this work leads you to yours.” — Chire Regans
