Tune into our fishbowl dialogue with artists featured in the exhibition Joy and Other Feats of Strength at Charlotte Street!

ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONIn 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: Elenor Aldrich, Chloë Bass, Alexandra Branch, Celeste Butler, Mark Cowardin, Rie Egawa, Eric Scrivner + Heather Anacker, Rachel Gregor, Kahlil Robert Irving, Fuko Ito, Dylan Mortimer, Lola, Ayisha Ogbara, Patricia + Meghan, Amy Riedel, Hard Stop, Kevin Umana, and Mikey Yates#joyandotherfeats #charlottestreet
