While feeling divided from each other, be it ideologically, racially, or socioeconomically, has become part of the “new normal,” it can also too easily lead us to forget that each of us are a part of a shared American and human experience. Inspired by our rich diversity, Tangled Roots brings artists together from varied backgrounds to enhance a much needed mutual appreciation and heightened awareness of each other’s contributions to the unique beauty of our communities.

This year, from November 2020 to February 2021, we expand the scope of Tangled Roots, as well as our working definition of multiculturalism and community. The exhibition will take a deconstructed form as various artist profiles, images of their work, profiles of local arts leaders and advocates of different backgrounds, and episodes of the docu series I Am George Floyd, produced by the Advocacy and Awareness Group: Johnson County.

These exhibition components will be posted on our social media and on the Tangled Roots exhibition page, so check back periodically, as more and more will be added throughout the coming months.
