About the exhibition >>The Way We Work<<:

In recognition of its 30th Anniversary and collaborative approach to working and organizing, Southern Exposure presents The Way We Work. This dynamic exhibition and series of projects takes Southern Exposure's community-based working model as its inspiration and starting point. Over the past 30 years, Southern Exposure has created and supported a community of artists and arts educators, and collaborated with countless organizations to jointly realize exhibitions, education programs, classes, films, events, talks, and public art projects. The Way We Work presents seven projects by artists collectives who similarly invoke significant collaborations, build diverse networks and involve that network in the creation and presentation of their work.
