The Day After Tomorrow: Art in Response to Turmoil and Hope
Our new reality is profoundly different than it was six months ago. The 2020 pandemic, COVID-19, has swept the world, and in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, we have seen unprecedented civil unrest calling for racial equality. What will these dilemmas leave in their wake? The Museum hopes to engage the community in these issues, ones that have changed our lives in unprecedented ways.
"The Day After Tomorrow" is divided into three themes. "A Better Tomorrow" focuses on transcendence, alternate realities, the divine, afterlife, and bliss. "A Worse Yesterday" comprises works of art that address events that have shaken the world and thrown it into crises such as world wars, nuclear proliferation, AIDS, genocide, racism, and immigration. "Awry Ecosystem" focuses on art by artists concerned with the environment and how humans are changing it.
