Curated by Kelsey Issel and Meryl Pataky of She Bends, “She Bends: Neon as Soulcraft” is an inquiry into the significance of manual trade skills and their impact on our connection to the material world. This exhibition focuses on neon bending for its embodied engagement and the diverse knowledge base demanded by this craft. How does exposure to such skills among young adults nurture innovative approaches to sustainability, social responsibility, and creative problem-solving?

The exhibition features teaching artists, Dani Kaes, Leticia Maldonado, and Victoria Ahmadizadeh Melendez, matched with student artists Melissa Jean Golberg, Mayra Zambrano, and Christen Baker respectively.
