Beyond Words is an exhibition that integrates a diverse group of artists that explore the power of language. Chosen from an international open call by artist and curator Gabriel Sosa, the work exemplifies how language can encompass wide-ranging notions of touch, mark-making, and repetition. Featuring works that range from the playful to the profound, Beyond Words reminds us of how we can constantly redefine the ways in which we communicate.
