The Hyde Art Gallery is thrilled to reopen for our second exhibition of the Spring semester, “Trauma: Artists’ Reflections on Healing and Resilience”. This emotionally impactful collection, co-curated by artists Annie Claflin and Ted Meyer, delves into personal narratives that examine both visible and invisible wounds to communicate, educate and reveal that art is not only a tool for expressing pain but also a vehicle for healing. The participating artists contemplate varied subjects such as war, cancer, sexual assault, and mental health. Artistic media like painting, fiber, and video integrate stories of harrowing life events in an exhibition that ultimately conveys solidarity. Alone, these artists communicate their physical and psychological pain through glitter, fabric, wood, imagery, and audio, while collectively inviting the audience into their healing processes.
