'Drawing a Line'


  • FiveMyles 558 St Johns Place Crown Heights, Brooklyn USA (map)

An exhibition of drawings from eleven artists: Andrea Alfaro, Roberta Allen, Lucile Bertrand, Crystal Z Campbell, Oasa DuVerney, Ewa Harabasz, Baseera Khan, Nate Lewis, Jelena Prljević, Sa’dia Rehman, Pema Rinzin.

The action of drawing a line establishes boundaries, an essential consideration for the artists in the exhibition; whether to protect personal boundaries in the quietude of one's own home, or at the heart of a political conflict. By drawing a line we protect ourselves, our families and our communities from the violence and inequalities that are happening around us. With their drawings the artists are striving for a sense of safety and peacefulness.

The show was curated by Klaudia Ofwona Draber.
