Building The World You Want looks at interdependence as strength, and ways of making as holders of meaning. The group of artists in this exhibition have been hosting rotating studio visits in their spaces over the past few months. Sharing with one another part of their practice, in very practical terms. We dyed fabric with indigo, made cyanotypes and collages, did letterpress printing and needle punch, and learned about each other’s work as an empathy practice and way of seeking connections. We had conversation about their similarities, what different processes brought to mind, and deepened our connection with each other. The work in this exhibition reflects some of this cross pollination from one artist’s practice to another’s, and is the start of considering what we can make together.

This Exhibition is part of a gallery swap between Purple Window Gallery, Chicago & Beco Gallery, Kansas City​​
Queer Ecologies brings together ten Queer artists across the Midwest region thinking with ecological systems. (artists sourced from our open call). The exhibition is co-curated by Lily Erb and SK Reed of Beco Gallery (now, The Waiting Room) in Kansas City.
This group exhibition features work by Lily Erb, Eve Gordon, Naomi Hamlin-Navias, Kate Humphrey, Linye Jiang, Justin Korver, David Nasca, SK Reed, Exer Thurston, and Kellen Wright. The artists work in a range of materials from bioplastic, photography, fiber, zines, and ceramic. Together, the exhibition encourages a broader range of what Queerness looks like in middle America and how the artists work with other nonhuman ecologies to provide a greater context to our often human-centric world.
