Rich In They Can't Measure
Rich in What They Can’t Measure examines value beyond systems that rely on visibility, productivity, and quantification. The exhibition brings together artists whose practices center care, labor, intimacy, interiority, and inherited knowledge—forms of wealth that resist easy measurement yet sustain life, culture, and community.
Historically, Black life has been assessed through extractive frameworks that flatten complexity and render care invisible. This exhibition pushes against those logics, asking what becomes possible when worth is understood through presence rather than proof, relationship rather than output, and endurance rather than efficiency.
Across photography, video, installation, and material gesture, the works gathered here attend to the body as archive and infrastructure. They honor acts of holding, carrying, tending, remembering, and refusing—gestures often dismissed as informal or immeasurable, yet foundational to survival and self-determination.
Rich in What They Can’t Measure invites viewers to slow down and reconsider how value is assigned, who is allowed fullness, and what forms of abundance exist beyond institutional recognition. The exhibition asserts that what sustains us most—care, memory, intimacy, and interior life—has never required permission to exist.
