Common Ground
Group virtual exhibition
Embed Gallery at Toolbox LA
Los Angeles, CA
October 3–November 14, 2020
Common Ground is an exhibition focused on the planet earth as an ever-shifting politicized landscape of borders, exclusions, and omissions as well as a shared terrain under pressing physical assault. Through paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos, this multi-cultural, multi-generational group of artists explore the reality of a single planet that is humanity’s most divided territory and damaged common ground.
