Kennedy Museum fall exhibition sparks curiosity

Gina Napoli, The Post, Ohio University, 20 September 2024

The Kennedy Museum of Art’s annual fall exhibition includes a multitude of works that aim to inspire viewers and explore past the surface level of art. This year’s exhibition, titled “Self Adjacent" opens Sept. 20 and goes through March 2025.

 

Curated by Sarah Irvin and Tracey Stonestreet, “Self Adjacent” is a “traveling group exhibition” that “examines the transforming experience of parenthood by artists as they navigate their many identities alongside and within the field of caregiving.” 

 

The exhibition — appearing at Massey Klein Gallery in New York City, the Visual Arts Center in Richmond, Virginia and now the Kennedy Museum — includes pieces from 20 artists from across the United States, all of whom showcase their unique outlooks on parenthood. Irvin said the exhibition shares an important central message.
