Exhibition Description
Curated by Erika Umali, the show emphasizes how contemporary artists craft narratives of self and others in ways that challenge long-standing visual traditions. Approximately thirty works explore themes of empathy, diversity, and self-reflection—positioning portraiture as a powerful conduit for understanding personal and cultural stories in today's world.
