Creative Community Care

“Creative Community Care: Artists Respond to Pandemic Times” is an interactive group exhibit, curated by Maria Liu Wong and Sarah Gerth van den Berg, exploring concerns and questions arising from COVID-19 and racial violence at the intersection of the arts, learning, faith, and the city. Eight artists adapted their creative practices to process their own experiences with grief and memory, relationships as neighbors and friends, and roles as parents and caregivers. Their works invite us to consider the relevance of the arts for healing and dream of new ways we might care for our communities.

As we travel around the country (Santa Ana, CA; Houston, TX; St. Paul, MN; Indianapolis, IN; Washington DC), we hope to catalyze conversations, expose and expand the imagination as visitors experience the arts, faith, and community intersect in concrete ways. Accompanying the exhibit will be conversations with the artists during the fall 2025 - spring 2026 seasons of “Light Breaking Out” (the HUB podcast).
