Taboo
Opening reception April 9 Noon - 4pm
The purpose of this showing is to shine a light on societal and cultural taboos. Our intention is to use art to question why it is that certain things have to be considered unacceptable to talk about or question, and in so doing, create dialog involving how a culture can and perhaps should change and adapt to accept new ideas.
