Galerie Myrtis is proud to announce Emergence: Stories in the Making, a group exhibition spotlighting a dynamic cohort of emerging artists who use storytelling as a powerful tool for expression and change. This thoughtfully curated show brings together an international roster of contemporary griots—artists whose works delve into themes of solidarity, cultural heritage, and social transformation.
Co-curated by Gallery Directors Noel Bedolla and Ky Vassor, Emergence underscores the vital role storytelling plays in shaping public discourse and advancing societal awareness. The exhibition features a compelling lineup of artists: Aliana Grace Bailey, Schaun Champion, Unyime Edet, Alanis Forde, Damilare Jamiu, Charles Philippe Jean-Pierre, Kachelle Knowles, Linnea Poole, Ransome, Kim Rice, and Bria Sterling Wilson.
Each artist presents a unique perspective, employing a wide range of materials and techniques to explore emotional, environmental, and social issues that deeply resonate in today’s world. Their work serves as a mirror to contemporary society, offering viewers a chance to reflect on the narratives that inform and influence our collective experience.
Throughout history, storytellers have acted as the moral compass of society—capturing the spirit of political movements and preserving the human story. The works featured in Emergence continue this tradition, inviting audiences to connect with the urgent voices shaping our time.
The exhibit runs from May 31 – July 12, 2025. Gallery hours: Tuesday – Saturday by appointment, 2:00 – 6:00 pm. Hours extended during special events.
