Join us for the opening reception of the exhibition Joy and Other Feats of Strength at Charlotte Street!

CSF Gallery at Charlotte Street Foundation

In times of great pressure, the experience of Joy can feel like an act of defiance– a rebellion. As a physiological state, Joy is fleeting. Though a predictor of longer life, a superhuman salve for a myriad of ailments, joy if pursued overtly  can actually cause depression. This elusive state of being might best be at its best when it sneaks up on you, when there are no expectations. It can present in the quietest of moments. Or, it can blot out the sky with its brilliance. It comes in the shape of people, hopes, and triumph.This exhibition features work that captures and inspires joy in a spectrum of experiences, experiments, and evocations. It is a celebration of those ephemeral sparks that keep us moving forward, all the world’s tragedy and drama be damned.Featuring: Eleanor Aldrich, Chloë Bass, Alex Branch, Celeste Butler, Mark Cowardin, Rie Egawa, Eric Scrivner + Heather Anacker, Rachel Gregor, Kahlil Robert Irving, Fuko Ito, Dylan Mortimer, Lola Ayisha Ogbara, Patricia Bordallo Dibildox + Meghan Skevington, Amy Reidel, Hard Stop, Kevin Umaña, and Mikey YatesEXHIBITION PROGRAMMING <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/342439875887" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Writing Workshop with author Rebekah Taussig</a>Saturday, July 2 from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM | CSF Kemper Library<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/342443496717" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Virtual Fishbowl Dialogue with Exhibition Artists</a>Wednesday, July 13 from 6:00-6:45 PM (CST) | ZOOM--Masks required indoors.
