In the Main Gallery, FUGAZI, a self-titled multidisciplinary exhibition by Trenton-based artist FUGAZI, explores perspective as the foundation of human experience. Rooted in moral relativism, the work reflects on how truth is shaped by culture, time, and personal identity.

In the Community Gallery, Celestial Bodies by Rashad Malik Davis is a reclamation of Black and Queer identity grounded in ancestral knowledge and spiritual history. Drawing from his academic background in anthropology, Davis examines Queerness as an ancient and sacred presence within many indigenous African cultures, one later disrupted by colonial erasure.
