"Lavender & Green Carnation" is a group exhibition that explores the enduring power of queer symbols in times of political unrest. In 2025, as LGBTQ+ rights face renewed threats, we are reminded of the resilience of our community and the coded languages that have historically kept us safe—handkerchiefs, flowers, and quiet gestures of solidarity. This exhibition honors the lavender’s defiance and the green carnation’s subtle boldness, reflecting a moment when we may once again need such tools of connection. The artists presented here enrich our world through their queerness, reminding us of the importance of care, creativity, and community in uncertain times. 

Exhibiting Artists:
Cole Lehto, Gwen Charles, Jorge Ariel Escobar, Ric Kasini Kadour, Dora Peregrine, and Seth Ter Haar
